Martin Joe Bonamassa Road 00-10E Retro - 1937 joe bonamassa sunburst
The MARTIN MARTIN Road Series Joe Bonamassa 00-10E Retro is an electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar inspired by the original 1937 00-18—the personal instrument of a major blues-rock artist.
If you love those typically vintage, warm, and subtle intimate tones, this is the ideal instrument for blues or Americana styles, whether you’re a fingerstyle player or a strummer.
It’s a more affordable and practical version of the iconic Joe Bonamassa 00-18.
This 00 14-Fret / Grand Concert with a short 24.9" scale features a solid Sitka spruce top, a laminated sapele back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard.
The ebony fingerboard provides a subtle and natural compression to the sound, adding clarity that can be particularly valuable in certain musical contexts.
This combination of features produces a sound that is both warm and clear, with thick, precise bass, rich mids, and generous treble.
Its acoustic volume is remarkable considering its modest 00-size dimensions.
It is equipped with a Martin E1 circuit mounted on the inner rim of the soundhole, which allows you to adjust volume, tone, and phase (to limit feedback and boost the bass) and also includes a built-in tuner.
The “1937 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst” finish authentically recreates the vintage look of Bonamassa’s pre-war vintage model.
