Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo Road Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar w/Bag
Product Description
The Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo is a premium Road Series dreadnought that blends classic Martin styling with modern craftsmanship and stage-ready performance. Inspired by Martin’s iconic 28-style models, this acoustic-electric delivers the bold projection, rich low-end, and articulate clarity that players expect from a traditional dreadnought, paired with exceptional playability and contemporary reliability.
Its torrefied solid spruce top is thermally aged to produce a mature, broken-in tone straight out of the case, offering enhanced warmth, responsiveness, and vintage-inspired character. Paired with solid granadillo back and sides, the DE Retro Plus delivers powerful bass, crisp highs, and impressive sustain with outstanding dynamic range.
Scalloped X-bracing adds depth and punch, while the Performing Artist neck profile with High Performance taper provides smooth and comfortable playability across the fingerboard. The ebony fingerboard and bridge further enhance tonal clarity and premium feel.
Equipped with LR Baggs Element electronics, the DE Retro Plus is equally at home on stage, in the studio, or at home, delivering natural amplified acoustic tone with excellent detail and balance.
