Martin SC-18E LR Baggs Overview

The Martin SC-18E LR Baggs combines forward-thinking design with classic Martin tone, delivering a modern playing experience without sacrificing traditional character. Built around Martin’s innovative SC platform, it features the patented Sure Align® neck system for unrestricted upper-fret access and a Low Profile Velocity neck that feels fast and comfortable in the hand.

A spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides produces a clear, punchy voice with strong midrange presence and articulate highs. The internal soundboard recurve enhances bass response, while the S-13 fret cutaway body ensures full access across the fingerboard. Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the SC-18E is ready for live performance and recording with natural, dynamic amplified tone.
