Sapele all the way
The D-10E Retro Sapele is built from solid sapele, including the top. Sapele is an African wood that resembles mahogany in both appearance and tone. Here, it provides a powerful midrange, while the dreadnought body adds a rich foundation. The body has a satin finish, and the neck finish is applied by hand.
Road Series, Retro
In 2026, Martin divided the Road Series into Retro and Modern. The D-10E Retro Sapele has a satin finish and an appearance inspired by the Style 15. It features a dreadnought body and a long 645 mm scale length.
With the plug in
The Martin E1 has volume, tone, and a phase button that can help reduce feedback. It has a built-in tuner, so you can tune without a cable.
