The 000-13E Retro Walnut pairs a spruce top with black walnut back and sides, a wood Martin notes is known locally as Pennsylvania rosewood. It is gloss all over with an Aging Toner on the top, scalloped X-bracing, and Style 28-inspired trim: white binding and heelcap, a Style 28 rosette, 28 Style dots on ebony and faux tortoise pin dots. The PA Profile neck has a High-Performance Taper and a 1 3/4'' nut, and Martin E1 electronics are built in. Martin describes the sound as articulate and balanced.
For sapele back and sides on the same gloss body, look at the 000-12E Retro. The D-13E Retro Walnut is this build as a dreadnought, and the 000-28 is the Nazareth-built rosewood 000 with full Style 28 appointments.
