Martin Road Series DE Retro Plus Granadillo Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Meet your brand-new old friend: the Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Inspired by Martin’s legendary 28-style models, this Dreadnought blends classic design with modern craftsmanship. Its torrefied solid spruce top is thermally aged for a vintage-style, broken-in sound with bold projection right from the first strum. Paired with solid granadillo back and sides, it delivers deep, powerful bass, sparkling highs, and long, rich sustain. Scalloped X-bracing adds dynamic punch, while the Performing Artist neck with High-Performance Taper and ebony fingerboard ensures smooth, comfortable playability. Finished with Style 28 appointments and LR Baggs Element electronics, this stage-ready workhorse is built for players chasing tone, power, and performance wherever the road takes them.
