All-Sapele Power with Classic Dreadnought Projection
The Martin D-10E Retro Sapele delivers a strong, direct acoustic voice built for players who need volume and clarity in a traditional dreadnought format. With an all-solid sapele construction, it produces a focused low end, punchy mids, and clear highs, giving it a balanced but assertive character that cuts through in band settings or fills a room solo.
Scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and responsiveness, while the Performing Artist neck profile with High-Performance Taper provides a comfortable, fast feel across the fretboard. The longer 25.4" (645 mm) scale length adds tension and projection, making it well suited to strumming and dynamic playing.
Equipped with Martin E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, it’s ready for stage use, with a softshell case included for easy transport.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the D-10E Retro Road Series is a dependable dreadnought that delivers strong projection and a clean, punchy tone for players who need consistency on the road or at home.
