The 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell is a 0-14 fret Road Series guitar in solid mahogany throughout, top included, with a satin Dark Mahogany finish. Martin modelled it on a pre-war guitar of Isbell's. Scalloped spruce X-bracing sits under the top, the PA Profile neck has a High-Performance Taper and a 1 3/4'' nut, and the board, bridge and headplate are East Indian rosewood with Old Style 17 inlays. Martin E1 electronics are built in.
A 0 is a small body that sits close on the lap, and Martin voices this mahogany top toward warmth. For a spruce top on the same 0 body, look at the 0-X2E Cocobolo. For mahogany on mahogany in the bigger 000 body, the 000-15M is built in Nazareth with a bone nut and saddle, and the 000-10E Retro Sapele keeps the Road Series build with a sapele top.
