Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!? With the SC-13E acoustic-electric guitar, Martin proves that they can push technological boundaries while maintaining their rich legacy. Constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top and attractive koa back and sides, the SC-13E fuses the genuine Martin acoustic sound with modern playability and features -- expanding what you thought you could do on a traditional acoustic guitar!

An asymmetrical body shape offers maximum feedback resistance so you can plug in and play louder than ever before. Enjoy unhindered access to all 20 frets thanks to the patent-pending Sure Align neck system with a comfortable heel-less design. Speaking of comfort, the SC-13E's low-profile velocity neck mimics the playability of electrics, making those leads or long sets a whole lot easier. And since the guitar also comes loaded with Fishman MX-T electronics, you'll have no trouble sounding your best wherever you end up performing.
