The Martin 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell Signature Model
This model comes after the Martin Billy Strings and Jeff Tweedy signature models but how does it hold up? Coopertakes us on an in-depth review and comparison of the Jason Isbell Signature Model from Martin. This guitar features a satin-finished 0 14-fret body crafted with solid mahogany for a warm, focused tone with clear trebles and strong midrange punch. Scalloped spruce X-bracing provides added responsiveness and balance, while the shorter 24.9" scale length contributes to a softer, more relaxed playing feel.
Jason Isbell is a Grammy Award Winning Artist with his latest album "Foxes in the Snow" featuring a vintage stripped down 1940s Martin 0-17. The 0-10E is aimed to capture the same spirit that Jason embraced for the album. Does this guitar offer enough features to be called a signature model and carry Isbell's name? Watch the video to find out!
This is the model we currently have in hand here at Alamo Music Center, and it’s a fantastic little guitar. Part of Martin’s Road Series, the 0-10E Retro features an all-solid mahogany body (top, back, and sides) with a rosewood bridge and fingerboard. It’s built in Mexico with E1 electronics, so it’s stage-ready right out of the gig bag.
