“Nothing about it says ‘budget’… matches almost anything we’ve played in quite a while”: Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany review

Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany: the vintage-inspired dreadnought looks the part, sounds the part, but is offered at a fraction of the price of a vintage original.

What is it?

If you know your Martin guitar models, you might initially say, “Oh, it’s a D-18 but with an unusually grained fingerboard and bridge.” Well, no, it’s not a D-18, but it’s certainly a dreadnought and follows that legendary model’s features pretty closely.
