Martin 000-10E Retro Sapele
The Road Series Retro
The Martin 000-10E Retro Sapele is part of the Road Series. Martin developed the Road Series to bring the ultimate stage and studio guitars to the market. They mainly looked at professional guitarists, and what they find important on stage and in the studio. They have combined these points to produce the perfect stage and studio guitars, so that as a professional guitarist you only need to purchase one good guitar. For this, one of the most important points was the built-in electronics. A western guitar that sounds good acoustically does not mean that the guitar sounds good amplified. Martin used the Martin E1 for this. This is high-quality technology that translates the sound of the guitar to the amplifier as authentically as possible. In addition, this electronics has a tuner that turns off the output when switched on. Consequently, you can tune your guitar without the sound being amplified. In addition, Martin has ensured that the electronics are hidden in the guitar, so that the guitar still looks beautiful. The Retro aspect of the series is in the details, with vintage-style tuners, traditional rosettes, and faux mother-of-pearl fret inlays. Some models even have a torrified top, adding a beautifully played-in sound. Another important point is that the prices of the guitars do not reflect the quality. Such high-quality guitars usually come with a price tag that is double the price Martin gave them. This makes these guitars not only the ultimate for professional guitarists, but also very suitable for up-and-coming guitarists. The guitars come in all shapes, types, colours and materials and are supplied with a cover.
This Martin 000-10E Retro Sapele comes with the acoustic guitar service package worth €75.00, consisting of:
- Adjustment before delivery/shipping
- An adjustment voucher
- Pick holder
- Official Joh.deHeer warranty certificate
The 000-10E Retro Sapele
De 000-10E Retro Sapele is an Orchestra guitar, which is a versatile type of guitar. The body is a little smaller than the popular Dreadnought. Although the guitar is mostly suited for fingerpicking, it can definitely also be used for rhythm guitar. The top, back and sides are made of sapele. Sapele has a beautiful dark colour and produces a bright and powerful sound. The guitar has a ‘select hardwood’ neck. This means the neck is either made of cedar or mahogany, depending on which of the two Martin can obtain without having to participate in deforestation. Both tonewoods are great choices for a neck and the difference between the two is minimal.
Martin
Martin is a reputable American company which has been making guitars for almost 200 years. Throughout the years they have become one of the best when it comes to western guitars. This is because quality is their biggest priority. Consequently, Martin guitars are very popular. There are even many famous guitarists who use Martin guitars, like Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, and David Gilmour. Furthermore, their production process is environmentally friendly. Since the ‘90s they have worked together with the FSC to prevent deforestation. They only use wood from trees that have to be cut down to keep the forest healthy. The other parts of the guitar are recycled, as well. By purchasing a Martin guitar you are thus not only investing in quality, but also the environment.
