The 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa brings the look of Joe’s prized pre-war 1937 00-18 to a more accessible Road Series Retro platform. Its solid spruce top features a custom sunburst that replicates the visual wear of Joe’s original instrument—capturing the character of a well-loved vintage guitar. Paired with solid sapele back and sides, it delivers warm bass, punchy midrange, and clear trebles in a comfortable 00 body size ideal for blues, folk, and fingerstyle playing. Scalloped spruce X-bracing enhances resonance and sustain, while Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner make it ready for live performance or recording. It’s a Road Series tribute to one of Joe’s most treasured Martins—built for players chasing vintage character with modern reliability.
