Martin 000-12E Retro Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Martin 000-12E Retro Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a 000-14 fret Road Series model built with a solid spruce top, solid sapele back and sides, and scalloped X-bracing. This specific construction pairs a clear acoustic response with warm mid-range definition and enhanced project clarity. Structural appointments include an aging toner finish on the top, old-style dot fingerboard inlays, a multi-stripe rosette, an ebony bridge, and an ebony fingerboard mounted to a select hardwood neck with a Performing Artist profile.

For performance and tuning convenience, the instrument is factory-equipped with a Martin E1 electronics system that features volume and tone adjustments alongside a digital tuner accessible within the soundhole. The technical layout includes a 633 mm (24.9-inch) scale length, a 44.5 mm (1.75-inch) nut width, a white Tusq saddle, and nickel open-gear tuning machines with vintage-inspired butterbean knobs. A factory-included softshell case completes the package.
