The Martin SC-13E Modern paves the way to exceptional sound, playability, and style. Its glossy SC body and Sure Align® neck system provide full neck access and the comfort of an electric guitar, while the koa veneer back and sides contribute to a balanced tone with rich mids, smooth highs, and extended sustain. A solid spruce top and sculpted X-bracing maximize clarity and projection, and the Low Profile Velocity neck ensures fast, fluid playing in any position. Thoughtful details include white binding, ziricote dot inlays, and slotted Ratio® tuners. Equipped with LR Baggs Element electronics for exceptional amplified sound and including a soft case, the SC-13E Modern is designed for musicians looking to push the boundaries of their sound and performance.
