(Used) Martin 000-12E Retro Road Series Spruce/Koa Fine Veneer Auditorium Guitar w/Martin E1 #6492

Built for the working musician who refuses to compromise on stage-ready performance or striking stage aesthetics, this Martin 000-12E Road Series is an exceptional modern acoustic-electric companion. In Excellent Condition, this guitar has no apparent scratches or dings and even still has the plastic on the tuner. This model steps away from traditional plain woods to offer an exotic, high-end visual presence that immediately grabs attention under the lights. Engineered with an emphasis on rugged structural stability and effortless plugged-in utility, this recent-model instrument provides players with an accessible gateway to legendary Martin engineering and tone without the collector-level price tag.

The tonewood architecture centers around a solid Sitka spruce top paired with highly figured Koa fine veneer back and sides. This unique alternative construction bonds an authentic, jaw-dropping layer of Hawaiian koa over a tough, resonant African mahogany core, giving you the gorgeous tropical look and enhanced road durability required for heavy touring. Tonally, the solid spruce face pumps out a crisp, immediate response, while the 000 body shape focuses the midrange and keeps the low end tight, clean, and perfectly balanced for pristine string-to-string separation during complex fingerstyle patterns or rhythmic strumming.

Gigging guitarists will love the seamless plug-and-play capability provided by the onboard Fishman MX-T electronics system, which features a discreet soundhole-mounted tuner that automatically mutes your output for silent on-stage tuning. The select hardwood neck sports Martin's highly playable Performing Artist profile and High-Performance Taper, providing a fast, effortless feel that reduces hand fatigue during long sets. Complete with elegant mother-of-pearl pattern rosette accents, black binding, and a premium soft shell case, this 000-12E is completely setup and ready to dominate your next live performance or studio session.
