The thermally aged, torrefied spruce top on the Martin 000E Retro Plus Granadillo gives you the mature and responsive tone that a vintage Martin guitar is known for—you will be able to hear it from the first strum. Its scalloped X-bracing and solid granadillo back and sides deliver the excellent balance and sensitive response that have distinguished the 000 model for over 100 years. When it comes to playability, a hardwood Performing Artist neck, an elegant ebony fretboard, and nickel open-gear tuning machines ensure a delightful playing experience and rock-solid tuning stability. The 000E Retro Plus Granadillo is adorned with charming Style 18 inlays, and the stage-ready L.R. Baggs Elemet pickup system gives you a natural and authentic amplified tone.The Martin 000E Retro Plus is inspired by Martin's iconic 000-28, but it differs from the 000-28 model by being equipped with a torrefied solid spruce top. Torrefaction is a process in which the wood is heated to a low temperature in an oxygen-free environment, which reduces impurities in the wood and results in weight loss and increased stiffness. The process produces a chemical reaction in the wood that closely resembles the one wood undergoes when it ages naturally over decades. The end result is an extra resonant lightweight top that produces a tone reminiscent of an old guitar that has been loved and played for many years. This creates an acoustic guitar with a warm and powerful tone that also offers comfortable, modern playability. The combination of torrefaction, scalloped X-bracing, and a solid granadillo back and sides allows the Martin 000E Retro Plus Granadillo to sing with a warm, crisp, and beautifully balanced voice that is equally suited to delicate fingerstyle playing as to big, broad chords.
000 (Auditorium) guitars, such as the 000E Retro Plus, have the same body dimensions as OM (Orchestra Model) models. The biggest difference between a 000 and an OM is that the 000 model has a shorter scale length, which provides a "looser" playing feel and less projection. Bends become easier, and the frets are closer together on the fretboard. This makes the 000E Retro Plus Granadillo a popular model among blues guitarists as well as singer-songwriters who need a comfortable guitar for long sessions.
Premium Martin guitars such as the 000E Retro Plus are plek-treated to achieve more even playability. Plek Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels, and machines the frets so that every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.
