The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Nearly 200 years of acoustic guitar building expertise in every instrument. The signature Martin tonal balance that sits perfectly in any musical context. Construction methods proven and perfected across generations of professionals. Solid wood tops that mature and improve in tone over years of playing.
Light gauge strings (.012s or lighter) let Martin's legendary scalloped bracing do exactly what it was designed for. Play this guitar every day and the top opens up beautifully - a Martin at one year genuinely sounds better than the day you bought it.
Martin has defined acoustic guitar since 1833 - nearly 200 years of wisdom in every joint. The signature voice is immediately recognizable on Nashville recordings, folk stages, and living room couches worldwide. Built for generations, these guitars genuinely sound better with age as solid wood matures. Owning a Martin isn't buying a guitar; it's beginning a musical relationship that deepens year after year.

0-10E Retro Jason Isbell
The Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell is a Road Series model inspired by the 1940 Martin 0-17 Jason used to record his latest solo album, Foxes in the Snow. Built with a satin solid mahogany top, back, and sides and a 0 14-fret body, it delivers warm, focused tone with clear trebles and punchy mids. The Performing Artist neck and 24.9" scale length provide a smooth, comfortable feel, while scalloped spruce X-bracing adds clarity and responsiveness. East Indian rosewood accents, 17-style inlays, and nickel open gear tuners complete the look. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics and strung with Martin strings designed in collaboration with Jason, it’s a soulful, accessible tool for honest, expressive songwriting.Highlights
