Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell Acoustic Electric Guitar
The Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell signature model captures the spirit of the pre-war instrument that shaped Isbell's album Foxes in the Snow. By combining the vintage character of a 1940 Martin 0-17 with modern playability updates, this guitar offers a distinct voice for songwriters. It brings a stripped-down, authentic aesthetic to the accessible Road Series, making it a practical choice for gigging musicians and home players alike.
Warm, Focused Tone
Built with solid mahogany, this guitar produces a sound that is warm, dry, and articulate. The body design focuses on projecting a clear midrange, which is ideal for accompanying vocals without overpowering them.
Solid Mahogany Construction: The top, back, and sides are crafted from solid mahogany, delivering a focused tone with a strong midrange punch and clear trebles.
0-14 Fret Body Size: This compact body shape offers a comfortable playing experience while maintaining surprising volume and projection.
Scalloped X-Bracing: The internal spruce bracing is scalloped to allow the top to vibrate more freely, increasing responsiveness and dynamic range.
Feels Like a Dream
Martin has equipped this model with features designed to make playing effortless during long sessions. The neck specifications are tailored for comfort, whether you’re strumming chords or picking intricate lead lines.
24.9" Scale Length: A slightly shorter scale length reduces string tension, resulting in a slinkier feel that makes bending notes and fretting chords easier.
Slim, Fast Neck Profile: This neck shape is slim and fast, providing a modern feel that sits comfortably in the hand.
High-Performance Taper: The neck width remains manageable as you move up the fretboard, ensuring consistent playability in higher registers.
Built for the Spotlight
While the aesthetic is vintage, the features are ready for the modern stage. The 0-10E Retro comes equipped with reliable hardware and electronics that ensure you sound your best when plugged in.
Martin E1 Electronics: The integrated pickup system includes a built-in tuner and volume controls, offering plug-and-play convenience for live performances.
Vintage Aesthetics: Nickel open-gear tuners and Old Style 17 inlays on an East Indian rosewood fingerboard provide a classic, pre-war look.
Included Accessories: The guitar ships with a protective softshell case and is strung with Martin’s signature Jason Isbell strings.
A Tool for Storytellers
The 0-10E Retro is designed to be a reliable companion for artists who value honesty in their sound. It balances the history of Martin's 17 Series with the practical needs of today's performers. Whether writing at home or performing on stage, this instrument provides the tone and feel necessary to tell your story.

Plays easy and the mahogany
Plays easy and the mahogany looks so good. This is my first small body guitar and I’m amazed how light it is. I was going for a guitar that has the tone from Isbell’s Foxes in the Snow, and this guitar doesn’t disappoint.
