The Martin DE Retro Plus is a powerhouse dreadnought built for players who want vintage-inspired tone with modern reliability. Its torrefied spruce top gives it that aged, well-played sound right out of the box, while solid mahogany back and sides add warmth, punch, and clarity. Scalloped X-bracing delivers impressive resonance and volume, making this guitar perfect for hard strummers and nuanced fingerpickers alike. The PA-profile neck with a high-performance taper offers a comfortable feel for any playing style, and the ebony fingerboard and bridge add a sleek, premium touch. Equipped with Martin’s E1 electronics, the DE Retro Plus shines when plugged in, providing a natural, balanced tone that’s stage-ready. Aged toner, a faux tortoise pickguard, and multi-stripe rosette give it the classic Martin aesthetic, while the softshell case and the standard setup ensure it’s dialed in from day one. Whether you're leading a band or jamming solo, this dreadnought is built to deliver.
