My review of the new acoustic-electric 00-15E Retro
Loaded with vintage Martin vibes, it is a seamless melding of the storied past and promising future of America’s oldest musical instrument maker
Retro Tone at Any Level
“Even without plugging in, the Martin 00-15E Retro produces satisfying tone, volume, and projection from its comfortably small acoustic guitar body. Regardless of the builder, guitars with a mahogany top share unique tonal properties, which have always challenged my skill at putting tone into words. Well this particular guitar provides a great specimen to practice on.”
Are there color variations as well in the body? I need a blue colored body
If it is possible it is something you would have to get through the Custom Shop. Contact your local Martin dealer to ask.
Martin recently made a blue guitar in their series of Eric Clapton models, and it was a spectacular guitar in terms of tone. It is a long-scale OM. All other Clapton models are short-scale 000s. The body size is a little bigger than this one.

So it is entirely possible the answer is yes, the Custom Shop could do this for you. But I bet the up-charge is pretty steep. But I bet the Blue Clapton, as I call it, would actually be cheaper. It couldn’t hurt to ask though.
