Martin DE Retro Plus Acoustic Guitar w/Soft Shell Case

Meet your brand-new old friend. The Martin DE Retro Plus Granadillo is inspired by our legendary 28-style models and brings timeless design together with modern craftsmanship. Its torrefied solid spruce top is thermally aged for a broken-in sound with bold projection and vintage character right out of the box. Paired with solid granadillo back and sides, it delivers powerful bass, clear highs, and long, rich sustain—everything you expect from a classic Dreadnought. Scalloped X-bracing adds dynamic punch, while a Performing Artist neck and ebony fingerboard make it easy and comfortable to play. Finished with Style 28 details and LR Baggs Element electronics, this stage-ready workhorse is built for players chasing tone, power, and performance—wherever your road leads.
