The Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell is a tribute to one of America's most respected songwriters, blending vintage soul with modern performance. Inspired by the 1940s 0-17 that accompanied Jason Isbell through his acclaimed Foxes in the Snow sessions, this compact 0-14 fret Concert model captures the warm, intimate tone of its pre-war predecessor. With an all-solid mahogany body and satin finish, it offers a focused, balanced sound full of earthy mids and sweet, singing trebles, ideal for fingerstyle, songwriting and recording.

Martin worked closely with Isbell to ensure the feel and playability match his own touring guitars. The Performing Artist neck with high-performance taper provides effortless comfort, while scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and projection. Equipped with Martin's E1 pickup system and a built-in tuner, it's equally at home on stage or in the studio, finished in dark mahogany with subtle vintage appointments that embody the spirit of honest, roots-driven music.

Features

  • Solid mahogany top, back and sides deliver a warm, vintage-inspired tone with earthy mids and sweet trebles.

  • Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner provide natural amplified tone on stage or in the studio.
