Martin Road DE Retro Plus Granadillo - aging toner

The MARTIN Road Series 000-13E Retro acoustic/electric guitar is inspired by Martin's 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.

Native from central America, Granadillo is considered a type of rosewood. Sonically close to Indian rosewood with broad frequency range and clear articulation. Harder and denser, it yields an additional bell-like ring, clear, chimey tone. Classical guitar makers later borrowed it and have been using it for at least 50 years.
