The Martin 000-13E Retro Walnut is a western guitar that combines Martin's high build quality with modern innovation and sustainability. The guitar is built in a 000 body type, also known as the "Auditorium", which is popular for its well-balanced tone and comfortable size.
The guitar is constructed with back and sides in black walnut, which is a tonewood that combines the properties of maple and mahogany. Walnut has some of the same warmth as mahogany and you get some of the clarity and projection that guitars with maple back and sides possess. The spruce top adds projection and articulation, ensuring that the guitar works just as well in the studio as on stage. Scalloped X-bracing further improves responsiveness and gives the guitar a wider dynamic range.
The neck of the 000-13E Retro Walnur is shaped for a comfortable playing experience, and it is built with an ebony fingerboard. The guitar also features a Martin E1 pickup system, which provides a clear and natural amplified tone for performance or recording. The pickup system features a built-in tuner that is hidden when not in use to maintain the guitar's clean and minimalist look.
Premium Martin guitars, like the 000-13E Retro Walnut, are plek-treated for a more consistent playability. Plek Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels and reprocesses the frets so that every note in every position rings loud and clear with a pristine tone.
Aesthetically, the 000-13E Retro Walnut is designed with a high-gloss finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood. The guitar's rosette and bindings have been carefully selected to complement the warm expression of the walnut wood.
