Martin Road Series 000-12E Retro Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Martin 000-12E Retro combines classic style with balanced tone and proven performance in a compact 000-size body. Its solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides deliver articulate mids, clear trebles, and a warm, responsive voice, while the scalloped X-bracing enhances clarity, volume, and sustain. The gloss finish and subtle vintage-inspired appointments give it a rich visual depth and timeless Martin aesthetic.
Equipped with a Performing Artist (PA) neck profile with high-performance taper, this guitar ensures smooth, modern playability across the fingerboard. Old-style dot inlays, multi-stripe rosette, and nickel open gear tuners with butterbean knobs nod to Martin’s Style 18 heritage. With E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case included, the 000-12E Retro is ready for live performance, recording, or practice. Sky Music Australia offers this Road Series model as a versatile, reliable instrument for serious players.
