AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
40/RS-00012E
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
The Martin 000-12E Retro delivers timeless Martin style with a balanced, articulate voice and modern performance features. Built around a comfortable 000 body shape, it offers excellent note definition and responsiveness, making it equally at home with fingerstyle playing, light strumming, or vocal accompaniment. A full gloss finish with aging toner adds depth and warmth to the look, evoking classic Martin aesthetics while retaining a clean, contemporary feel.
Solid spruce top and solid sapele back and sides provide a clear, focused tone with strong mids and controlled low end, enhanced by scalloped X-bracing for added projection and resonance. The Performing Artist neck profile ensures smooth, fast playability, while the ebony fingerboard with Old Style 18 dot inlays reinforces its vintage-inspired character. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics and supplied with a softshell case, the 000-12E Retro is a versatile, road-ready acoustic built to perform wherever your playing takes you.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
