Martin SC-13E electro-acoustic guitar
If you move often between chords, solos and playing high up the neck, the Martin SC-13E immediately shows what it was built for. This electro-acoustic guitar has an S-13 Fret Cutaway body and the patented Sure Align Linear Dovetail Neck Joint, giving you full access to the upper frets. Its ergonomic Low Profile Velocity neck with High Performance Taper offers a feel that connects well with what many players know from an electric guitar.
The asymmetrical body produces a balanced, powerful sound while also reducing the risk of feedback on stage. That makes the Martin SC-13E a good match for guitarists who perform live regularly, while still offering a full Martin acoustic experience in the studio or at home.
Construction, electronics and practical details
Martin pairs a Sitka Spruce top with koa fine veneer back and sides. The Tone Tension X-Brace and the Treble Side Scalloped X with Non-Scalloped Tone Bars are part of the design of this Road Series model, developed for dependable use in performance and recording situations. The glossed top and body give the natural finish a refined look.
With a 25.4 inch scale length and a 1 3/4 inch nut width, the SC-13E gives you room for accurate playing across the neck. Built-in Fishman MX-T electronics make this acoustic-electric guitar ready to plug in straight away, and the included premium softshell case is a practical plus if you travel often. At Magna Music, you can also get personal guitar advice from staff who are players themselves.
