The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
FSC-certified sustainable tonewoods; 000 body geometry optimized for balanced treble and midrange clarity; Fishman electronics with transparent tone reproduction; design heritage informed by Mendes' vintage Martin reference point.
Fishman system requires occasional battery checks and basic familiarity with amp settings. Compact 000 body suits players with smaller frames or those prioritizing fingerstyle work. Quality gig bag recommended for protection given build quality.
A genuinely constructed mid-tier acoustic-electric with credible Martin DNA and sustainable materials. Neither a celebrity signature cash-grab nor overengineered—it handles both bedroom recording and small venue performance with consistent character.

000-10E Shawn Mendes
The Martin 000-10E Shawn Mendes offers signature style in a sustainable Road Series build. Inspired by Shawn’s small-bodied 1920s Martin, this FSC®-certified model pairs sapele back and sides with a spruce top for warm, balanced tone. A Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper ensures smooth playability, while the 000 body size provides clarity and comfort. Signature touches include a custom eagle inlay, a uniquely shaped faux tortoise pickguard, and the first Road Series straightline pyramid bridge, which lends the guitar its direct, vintage-inspired voice. By carrying timeless Martin heritage into a modern, sustainable build, this model reflects the enduring nature of both design and songwriting. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case, it’s ready for players everywhere.
With the release of the 000-10E Shawn Mendes and the 000-28 Shawn Mendes, Martin Guitar is proud to support the Shawn Mendes Foundation and its mission to amplify, empower, and uplift youth change makers, their organizations and their work. The Shawn Mendes Foundation is a sponsored program of the Social Impact Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Made for the Song: Shawn Mendes & His Signature Martins
Shawn Mendes shares the story behind his new Martin signature guitars: the limited-edition 000-28 Shawn Mendes and the Road Series 000-10E Shawn Mendes. Inspired by his cherished 1920s Martin, both models reflect Shawn’s love for intimate, versatile guitars built for songwriting, recording, and performance.
Shawn Mendes
GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes has become one of the defining pop artists of his generation, known for heartfelt lyrics, soaring vocals, and an intimate connection to the acoustic guitar. Shawn’s expansive catalog includes multi-platinum hits such as “Treat You Better,” “Stitches,” “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” “If I Can’t Have You,” and “Señorita.” In 2018, Shawn released his self-titled platinum album, Shawn Mendes, which was nominated in two categories for the 61st annual GRAMMY Awards®, including Song of the Year for “In My Blood” and Best Pop Vocal Album. In 2020, Mendes’ fourth album, Wonder, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking his fourth consecutive chart-topping album. Mendes’ latest album, Shawn, released two years ago, draws deeply from his travels and experiences over the last few years. Representing Shawn’s most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date, the album was written acoustically on his vintage Martin guitar and received widespread critical acclaim.
A longtime Martin player, Shawn has often turned to acoustic guitars as a source of inspiration in his songwriting and performances. In 2022, he partnered with Martin on his first signature model, the 000JR-10E Shawn Mendes, reflecting his passion for creativity, sustainability, and connection. His latest Martin collaboration continues that story with two new signature models inspired by his cherished 1920s Martin.
Beyond his music career, Shawn focuses his charitable efforts on empowering young people to make positive change in their communities. In 2019, he launched the Shawn Mendes Foundation (SMF) to support young changemakers, amplify their voices, and inspire and uplift young leaders.
