Details
The Martin D-10E Retro Sapele is a time-tested tool made for players who need volume, punch, and reliability. With a solid sapele top, back, and sides, and scalloped X-bracing, it delivers strong bass and a bold, balanced tone that fills any room. The satin finish, select hardwood fingerboard with diamond-and-square inlays, and vintage-style open gear tuners give it a stripped-down, classic Style 15 aesthetic. A Performing Artist neck profile provides modern comfort and smooth playability, while the select hardwood bridge and ebony bridge pins round out the details. Equipped with E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, this Dreadnought is built to do the job—whatever your road looks like, and wherever it takes you next.
