Martin SC-10E Modern Overview

The Martin SC-10E Modern is designed for players seeking full-fret access, electric-like comfort, and an acoustic voice that projects clearly in any setting. Its S-13 cutaway body and Sure Align neck system allow smooth movement into the upper register, making lead lines and complex chord work feel natural and effortless. A solid spruce top paired with solid sapele back and sides yields punchy mids, clear trebles, and strong projection.

A satin finish, black binding, and diamond-and-squares inlays provide clean modern styling, while the Low Profile Velocity neck offers a fast, comfortable feel inspired by electric guitar ergonomics. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics and a built-in tuner, the SC-10E Modern is equally ready for the studio, stage, or rehearsal space. A softshell case is included.
