Sound Pure's Take
Weighing a featherlight 3 lbs 10 oz, the Martin 010 Retro Jason Isbell combines vintage parlor ergonomics with rich, focused mahogany voice. Featuring an all-mahogany body in a Dark Mahogany satin finish, this 0-14 fret model utilizes scalloped 5/16" spruce X-bracing to produce exceptional resonance, warm midrange punch, and articulate projection. The select hardwood neck boasts a Performing Artist profile with a High-Performance Taper, a 24.9" scale, and an East Indian rosewood fingerboard with Old Style 17 boltaron inlays and a 1 3/4" Corian nut. Outfitted with open-gear nickel tuners, a rosewood straightline bridge, and a faux tortoise pickguard, this intimate acoustic ships with a durable gig bag.
From Martin and Co.
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.
