Martin Road Series D-10E Retro Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric - Aging Toner

Martin D-10E Retro (Road Series) – Classic Dreadnought Feel, Plug-In Ready

The Martin Road Series D-10E Retro is all about that iconic Martin dreadnought voice — bold, full, and balanced — in a modern acoustic-electric package that’s gig-, rehearsal-, and studio-friendly. With a solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, it delivers clear projection, strong mids, and the kind of punch that sits beautifully under vocals or drives a strumming-heavy mix.

Why you’ll love it

• Dreadnought body for big low end, strong volume, and classic Martin presence
• Solid spruce top for clarity, dynamic response, and projection
• Solid sapele back/sides for warm, woody character with great note separation
• Ebony fingerboard with a 16" radius for smooth fretting and easy control
• Martin E1 electronics with volume, tone, phase switch + built-in tuner
• Aging Toner finish and traditional appointments for a timeless look

Solid wood tone that covers heaps of styles

The spruce/sapele combo gives you a versatile voice: crisp top-end detail for fingerpicking, a confident midrange for rhythm work, and plenty of headroom when you dig in with a pick. Under the hood, X-bracing helps the guitar speak with authority and keeps your chords and single notes projecting clearly.

Stage-friendly Martin E1 pickup system

The onboard Martin E1 system makes plugging in simple. Use the phase switch to help tame feedback in tighter spaces, shape your sound with the tone control, and use the built-in tuner for quick tune-ups without fuss.

Traditional looks, modern playability

Details like black binding, a single-ring rosette, 28-style inlays, and open-gear tuners keep things classic. The comfortable PA neck profile and 14-fret neck join give you that familiar dreadnought feel with an easy-playing edge.
