The Martin SC-13E Modern features an innovative ergonomic body shape, a fast Velocity neck, solid tonewoods, and Fishman MX-T electronics. An acoustic-electric designed for professional players who want electric-guitar comfort from an acoustic. Includes soft case.
Martin reinvented the acoustic guitar with the SC-13E Modern — and professional players have taken notice. Built around Martin’s innovative SC-13 body shape, this guitar sits comfortably at the intersection of an acoustic and an electric, with a slim, low-profile Velocity neck that feels as fast and familiar as your favourite solid-body electric.
The SC-13E’s unique ergonomic body shape positions the guitar closer to your body, reduces neck dive, and gives you exceptional upper-fret access for a Martin acoustic — something that traditional dreadnoughts and OMs simply can’t match. The Fishman MX-T electronics capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice faithfully, making it equally at home plugged into a DI or a studio preamp.
