The Martin 000-12E Retro combines classic style with balanced tone and proven performance in a compact 000-size body. Its solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides deliver articulate mids, clear trebles, and a warm, responsive voice, while the scalloped X-bracing enhances clarity, volume, and sustain. The gloss finish and subtle vintage-inspired appointments give it a rich visual depth and timeless Martin aesthetic.
Equipped with a Performing Artist (PA) neck profile with high-performance taper, this guitar ensures smooth, modern playability across the fingerboard. Old-style dot inlays, multi-stripe rosette, and nickel open gear tuners with butterbean knobs nod to Martin’s Style 18 heritage. With E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case included, the 000-12E Retro is ready for live performance, recording, or practice. Sky Music Australia offers this Road Series model as a versatile, reliable instrument for serious players.

*** Martin Spruce Availability Update ***
Due to constraints surrounding the procurement of old-growth Sitka spruce, Martin Guitar will allow the use of Lutz spruce in combination with Sitka spruce as needed.
Martin will be utilising both Sitka and Lutz spruce throughout their line of instruments. This will allow Martin to continue to provide the best quality spruce tops while meeting the significant demand for our products.
Lutz spruce is a naturally occurring hybrid of Sitka spruce and white spruce and grows in the same geographical areas as Sitka spruce. Lutz also has similar tonal and visual characteristics compared to Sitka spruce.
Models affected: All models that currently utilise Sitka spruce.
