Martin SC-13E Special - Natural

Martin SC-13E Special - Natural

The Martin SC-13E Special is a game-changer, designed for the modern player who wants the feel of an electric guitar with the unmistakable sound of a Martin acoustic. This instrument, with its revolutionary S-13 fret cutaway body and low-profile "Velocity" neck, allows for effortless access to every single fret, making it a dream for lead players and songwriters who love to explore the entire fretboard. The Sure Align® neck system adds another layer of innovation, allowing for easy, perfect action adjustments without affecting the saddle. It’s an instrument that breaks tradition to offer a new level of comfort and playability without sacrificing that classic Martin tone.

This particular model shines with its stunning ziricote fine veneer back and sides. This tonewood is celebrated for its close tonal relationship to the rosewood family, offering a full-range sound with rich, complex overtones and excellent projection. Paired with a solid Sitka spruce top, this guitar produces a dynamic, punchy sound that cuts through a mix, whether you're performing live or recording. The LR Baggs Element electronics ensure that when you plug in, your natural acoustic tone is amplified with clarity and excellent feedback resistance. While many legendary artists have played Martins, the SC-13E is a newer model and is still making its mark in the hands of today’s musicians.
