In \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, this guitar has no apparent scratches or dings and even still has the plastic on the tuner. Designed to echo the legendary aesthetic of Martin's historic 18-style models, this instrument boasts a gorgeous gloss-finished solid Spruce top treated with a warm amber aging toner, discrete black binding, and classic open-gear tuners. It delivers a deeply traditional vibe wrapped around cutting-edge, road-ready structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eTonally, the combination of a solid Spruce top and solid Sapele back and sides yields an exceptionally clear, punchy, and immediate acoustic response. The 000 body profile keeps the low end perfectly tight and controlled, preventing muddy overtones and allowing the crisp midrange and brilliant, articulate trebles to soar. Thanks to its modern 5\/16-inch scalloped X-bracing pattern, the seasoned top moves with minimal effort, providing a sensitive dynamic range that captures the subtle nuances of complex fingerstyle arrangements just as easily as it drives a rhythm section during lively flatpicking numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003ePlayability is seamless and distinctly modern, utilizing a fast Performing Artist neck profile paired with a High-Performance Taper that feels slick and uniform from the first fret all the way up the ebony fingerboard. Built specifically to handle the demands of the modern performer, the 000-12E Retro comes equipped with a factory-integrated Martin E1 electronics system. Discreetly mounted within the soundhole to preserve the guitar’s uninterrupted historic lines, the E1 preamp features an incredibly convenient built-in auto-muting tuner and volume\/tone wheels, ensuring a natural, highly musical plug-and-play signal directly to the soundboard night after night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: 000-14 Fret (Auditorium)\u003cbr\u003eTop: Solid Spruce (with Aging Toner)\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides: Solid Sapele\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Select Hardwood\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: Performing Artist Profile\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBracing: 5\/16\" Scalloped Spruce X-Bracing\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Ebony Modern Belly\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Nickel Open-Gear with Butterbean Knobs\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Gloss Body \/ Satin Neck\u003cbr\u003eNut Material and Width: White Corian, 1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24.9\"\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: Martin E1 System (with Onboard Tuner)\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Black\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 16\"\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: White Tusq\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate: Brazilian Rosewood HPL w\/ Script Ink Logo\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pins: White Plastic with Black Dots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotice: This is a used item.
