The 00-10E Retro Joe Bonamassa takes its look from Bonamassa's pre-war 1937 00-18: a spruce top in 1937 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst, finished in satin and made to look worn, over solid sapele back and sides on the 00-14 fret body. Black binding, an Old Style 18 rosette and Old Style 18 inlays on an ebony board carry the vintage styling, with scalloped X-bracing under the top. The PA Profile neck has a High-Performance Taper and a 1 3/4'' nut, and Martin E1 electronics are built in.
For the Nazareth-built version, with genuine mahogany, a gloss finish and GE-Scalloped bracing, look at the 00-18 Joe Bonamassa. The 00-18 in the Standard Series is the same body in spruce and mahogany with a toned top.
