Gorgeous Auditorium Acoustic-electric from Martin

Find out what so many guitarists have come to love in a Martin with the very affordable and beautifully designed 000-10E Road Series. This Auditorium model acoustic-electric guitar features a solid all-sapele body for rich, full tone. In addition, a select hardwood neck with Richlite fingerboard offers incredible playability and response, ideal for both fingerstyling and flatpicking. And when you’re ready to plug in, Martin E1 electronics deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone.

Designed for play

The all-sapele Auditorium body of the 000-10E produces big, varied tone with emphasis on the bass but a strong treble response as well. First introduced in the early 1920s, Auditorium-body acoustics earned a reputation among players as outstanding fingerpicking guitars, and the 000-10E carries that tradition forward beautifully. Whether you play bluegrass, Delta-style blues, or modern country, you will find the 000-10E to be an ideal fingerpicking guitar that also opens up when flatpicked. Big, first-position chords sound amazing on this gorgeous acoustic.

Outstanding electronics

The onboard Martin E1 electronics in the 000-10E not only produce outstanding amplified acoustic tone, but they also provide convenience via the soundhole-mounted tuner. This cleverly placed tuner faces upward and features an auto-mute function, so you can tune in silence onstage with a perfect line-of-sight view of your tuning status for each string — a feature guitarists here at Sweetwater really appreciate.

True Martin craftsmanship

The 000-10E is part of Martin’s Road Series, built for portability as well as sound. The top, back, and sides are braced for maximum resonance and projection, the 000-10E’s smooth-playing Performing Artist high-performance taper neck is built with select hardwood for extra rigidity and durability, and the Richlite fingerboard is similar to ebony — smooth, responsive, and comfortable. The bridge is also made of Richlite for great tone support.

Makes Fingers Hurt

This guitar hurts my fingers but only because I have trouble putting it down. I'm a long time novice and have a Fender CD-100. I wondered if I was worthy of upgrading to a solid wood Martin but the thought of a 000 that was a bit smaller and thinner for comfort made me pull the trigger when Sweetwater got one in stock.
Even with my untrained ears I can tell a difference in sound quality. This guitar has a slightly smaller body than the dreadnought but the bass notes boom a bit more than my Fender, the high notes seem to sing more, and the sustain when you strum an open chord is much better than the laminate Fender.
The wood is amazing as I've read in other reviews. I like the simple look of the dark guitars with no binding so the sapele is great for me. The smoky smell of the wood stays in my sinuses long after I put the guitar away and fills part of the house even when in the case. I didn't think that meant a lot in a review, but it does make me hungry to play it like smelling fresh cookies makes you want some.
The electronics are something I didn't think I needed, and I haven't played amplified yet. The tuner is very convenient though and it works well, I use it a lot more than my phone app tuner that I had prior to this.
I saw a YouTube review where they compared this $ guitar to the $ 15-Series and while the mahogany guitar sounded better on the video I definitely am not worthy of that guitar at my current level. The reviewers said the 10-Series is great for the price and has most of the sound quality of the more expensive one. They said get the expensive one if you can afford it but you won't be disappointed with the $ one. I'm not and would buy it again.

Incredible

This is one of the best guitars I have ever played. In my 50+ years of playing the guitar, acoustic (classical and steel string) and electric, this guitar is pure Martin feels so good and the voice is so sweet. I LOVE IT.
