Featuring a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette and Style 18 binding on the back, the D-12E Retro has an understated elegance that is classic to C.F. Martin. In addition to premium solid woods, the D-12E Retro is built with a hardwood fretboard and bridge, and a hand-rubbed finish on the neck that is incredibly playable and feels great in the hand. Like many other Road Series models, it also features Martin E1 electronics for stage amplification and studio recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpruce is a wood that provides the perfect combination of strength and elasticity. The result is a guitar with a wide dynamic range and crisp articulation, ideal for a wide range of playing styles—from delicate fingerstyle to aggressive strumming. The sapele used for the back and sides of the D-12E Retro has a tonal character similar to mahogany, but produces a slightly brighter sound with more treble. The distinctive sapele tone is beautifully balanced across the bass, midrange, and treble, making it suitable for many different playing styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePremium Martin guitars, such as the D-12E Retro, are fret-treated to achieve more even playability. Fret Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels, and dresses the frets, ensuring that every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith built-in Martin E1 electronics, you can quickly connect the guitar to an acoustic amplifier, an audio interface, or even a PA system on stage. The E1 system’s tone, volume, and phase controls allow you to amplify the D-12E Retro’s rich, warm tone while shaping the sound as needed. The E1’s phase control makes it possible to eliminate unpleasant feedback in small rooms where it can be difficult to avoid standing close to your amplifier. The E1 system also features a built-in tuner, allowing you to tune the guitar without a cable connection—perfect for quick tuning breaks both on stage and at home.","brand":"C.F.
