Martin 000-10E Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural Satin Sapele

Find out what so many guitarists have come to love in a Martin with the very affordable and beautifully designed 000-10E Road series. This Auditorium model acoustic-electric guitar features a solid all-sapele body for rich, full tone. In addition, a select hardwood neck with Richlite fingerboard offers incredible playability and response, ideal for both fingerstyling and flatpicking. And when you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Martin E1 electronics deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone.

The all-sapele Auditorium body of the 000-10E produces big, varied tone with emphasis on the bass but a strong treble response as well. First introduced in the early 1920s, Auditorium-body acoustics earned a reputation among players as outstanding fingerpicking guitars, and the 000-10E carries that tradition forward beautifully. Whether you play bluegrass, Delta-style blues, or modern country, you will find the 000-10E to be an ideal fingerpicking guitar that also opens up when flatpicked. Big, first-position chords sound amazing on this gorgeous acoustic.

The onboard Martin E1 electronics in the 000-10E not only produce outstanding amplified acoustic tone, but they also provide convenience via the soundhole-mounted tuner. This cleverly placed tuner faces upward and features an auto-mute function, so you can tune in silence onstage with a perfect line-of-sight view of your tuning status for each string.

The 000-10E is part of Martin’s Road Series, built for portability as well as sound. The top, back, and sides are braced for maximum resonance and projection, the 000-10E’s smooth-playing Performing Artist high-performance taper neck is built with select hardwood for extra rigidity and durability, and the Richlite fingerboard is similar to ebony — smooth, responsive, and comfortable. The bridge is also made of Richlite for great tone support.
