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.

000E Retro Plus Mahogany
Inspired by our legendary 18-style flagship models, this acoustic-electric 000 combines balanced tone and iconic design with cutting-edge craftsmanship. Its torrefied solid spruce top is thermally aged for enhanced resonance and a beautifully seasoned sound, delivering the rich, broken-in tone of a vintage instrument from the first strum. It’s the same premium feature long reserved for our Authentic and Modern Deluxe series, now available for the first time ever in the Road Series. Combined with solid mahogany back and sides, scalloped spruce X bracing, a Performing Artist neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge, this guitar has everything you could want in an acoustic. It even comes stage-ready with Martin E1 electronics, featuring a built-in tuner and controls for dialing in your perfect live tone. Ideal as a gigging workhorse or your first step into premium acoustics, this guitar delivers best-in-class quality at an unbeatable value for serious players, and a lifetime of inspiration for anyone who picks one up. Just be warned, you won’t be able to put it down – because nothing compares to a Martin.
