Fancy getting your hands on a piece of blues history? The Martin 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa invites you to discover the look of one of the guitars closest to Joe Bonamassa’s heart: his prized 1937 00-18. This Road Series model faithfully recreates that vintage look, with a solid spruce top finished in a sunburst that replicates the visual wear and tear of the original instrument, giving it an instantly recognisable charm.

In terms of tone, the solid sapele back and sides deliver warm bass, rich mid-range and clear treble, perfectly suited to blues, folk and fingerstyle. The compact and well-balanced 00-14-fret body fits just as comfortably in the hands of a seasoned guitarist as it does in those of a player seeking comfort. The scalloped spruce X-bracing enhances resonance and sustain, giving body to every note.

The PA (Performing Artist) profile neck, featuring a High-Performance taper, ensures smooth playability across the entire 24.9" scale length. The ebony fingerboard and its Old Style 18 inlays add a touch of refinement, whilst the white TUSQ bridge and nut complete the meticulous craftsmanship.

Thanks to the Martin E1 electronics with built-in tuner, this guitar transitions seamlessly from the living room to the stage or the studio. Supplied with its softshell case and available in a left-handed version, the 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa is a collector’s item ready for life on the road, whilst embodying the soul of a classic.
