Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Vintage Martin Tone Meets Modern Performance

The Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo combines the timeless character of Martin's legendary pre-war dreadnoughts with the reliability and playability today's musicians demand. Inspired by Martin's iconic 28-style guitars, this Road Series model delivers powerful projection, rich sustain, and a warm, broken-in voice right out of the case.

At the heart of the DE Retro Plus is a thermally aged torrefied spruce top, engineered to replicate the responsiveness and tonal maturity of a well-played vintage instrument. Paired with granadillo back and sides, this guitar produces deep bass, articulate highs, and exceptional note clarity across the entire frequency spectrum.

Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, or writing your next song at home, the DE Retro Plus offers the authentic Martin sound with modern comfort and versatility.
