Sound Pure's Take
The Martin 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa is a 00-14 fret acoustic-electric guitar featuring a satin-finished spruce top in 1937 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst and dark mahogany-colored sapele back and sides. Construction employs a mortise and tenon neck joint with scalloped spruce X-bracing. Its select hardwood neck has a Performing Artist profile with High-Performance Taper, 24.9" scale length, 1 3/4" Corian nut, and an ebony fingerboard with 20 Plek'd frets and Old Style 18 faux mother-of-pearl inlays. Weighing 3 lbs 14 oz, it includes a gig bag. Integrated electronics consist of the Martin E1 system. Hardware and appointments include an ebony modern belly bridge with TUSQ saddle, faux tortoise pickguard, and nickel open-gear tuners.
From Martin and Co.
The 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa brings the look of Joe’s prized pre-war 1937 00-18 to a more accessible Road Series Retro platform. Its solid spruce top features a custom sunburst that replicates the visual wear of Joe’s original instrument—capturing the character of a well-loved vintage guitar. Paired with solid sapele back and sides, it delivers warm bass, punchy midrange, and clear trebles in a comfortable 00 body size ideal for blues, folk, and fingerstyle playing. Scalloped spruce X-bracing enhances resonance and sustain, while Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner make it ready for live performance or recording. It’s a Road Series tribute to one of Joe’s most treasured Martins—built for players chasing vintage character with modern reliability.
