~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~

GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Isbell is known for writing songs that cut straight to the heart—and for the guitar work that carries them there. His latest solo album, Foxes in the Snow, was recorded entirely on a 1940 Martin 0-17. Inspired by that pre-war instrument and the stripped-down sound it helped create, the 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell brings that same spirit to the Road Series in an accessible, stage-ready form. 

This signature model 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. Whether you're fingerpicking, strumming, or writing late into the night, this guitar is built to respond with honesty and heart. 

The select hardwood neck is carved with Martin’s Performing Artist profile and high-performance taper, offering a modern, comfortable grip with smooth movement across the fretboard. An East Indian rosewood fingerboard and straightline bridge add beauty and depth to the design, complemented by nickel open gear tuners,17-styleinlays, and a single-ring fiber rosette. Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner make it easy to plugin and dial in your sound for any performance.

Jason’s music is rooted in storytelling—and this guitar is built to help tell yours. Inspired by the tone that shaped Foxes in the Snow and developed with input from Jason himself, the 0-10E Retro Jason Isbell delivers signature style and substance at an accessible price. Each one comes with a softshell case and is strung with Martin strings designed in collaboration with Jason—offering a road-ready tool for players chasing tone, truth, and the next great song.
