Martin SC-13E Special Acoustic-electric Guitar - Burst

Martin SC-13E Special Acoustic-electric Guitar - Burst

The Martin SC-13E Special is an acoustic-electric that's built for the modern player who wants to stand out from the crowd. Its body is a stunning combination of a spruce top and ziricote fine veneer back and sides. The spruce top, a classic choice for acoustic guitars, is known for its clear, ringing tone and the ability to project sound with clarity and nuance, even at high volumes. Ziricote, on the other hand, is a Central American tonewood with a dark, almost chocolate-brown color and intricate, web-like figuring. Its tonal properties are often compared to those of Brazilian rosewood, delivering a balanced and warm sound with a full bass and clear, sparkling trebles. The unique grain pattern and the way it darkens with age make each guitar a one-of-a-kind work of art.

The combination of these tonewoods creates an instrument that is both visually and sonically remarkable. The spruce provides a strong, articulate voice, while the ziricote adds depth and a rich, resonant overtone content. This guitar is perfect for players who want the best of both worlds: a classic, well-defined tone with a touch of exotic flair. And thanks to its innovative neck design, you'll feel right at home whether you're playing acoustic leads or strumming chords.
