Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell Signature Electro Acoustic Guitar

The Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell is a Road Series model inspired by the 1940 Martin 0-17 Jason used to record his latest solo album, Foxes in the Snow. Built with a satin solid mahogany top, back, and sides and a 0 14-fret body, it delivers warm, focused tone with clear trebles and punchy mids. The Performing Artist neck and 24.9" scale length provide a smooth, comfortable feel, while scalloped spruce X-bracing adds clarity and responsiveness.

East Indian rosewood accents, 17-style inlays, and nickel open gear tuners complete the look. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics and strung with Martin strings designed in collaboration with Jason, it’s a soulful, accessible tool for honest, expressive songwriting.
