{"product_id":"c-f-martin-de-retro-plus-granadillo","title":"C.F. Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo","description":"The thermally aged, torrefied spruce top on the Martin DE Retro Plus gives you the mature and responsive tone that a vintage Martin guitar is known for—you will be able to hear it from the very first strum. Its scalloped X-bracing and solid granadillo back and sides deliver the outstanding volume and wide dynamic range that have made the dreadnought model excellent 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 DE Retro Plus Granadillo is adorned with charming Style 18 inlays, and the stage-ready L.R. Baggs Element pickup system gives you a natural and authentic amplified tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo is inspired by Martin's iconic D-18, but it differs from the D-18 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 the 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 solid granadillo back and sides allows the Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo to sing with a warm, crisp, and beautifully balanced voice that is equally suited to delicate fingerstyle playing as to big, full chords.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePremium Martin guitars like the DE 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 every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.","brand":"C.F.
