The Martin SC-13E Special is a welcome addition to the Martin SC range of guitars. Featuring LR Baggs electronics and selection of unique appointments you'll be able to play for longer and louder, all with added comfort!
The first thing that stands out with the SC-13E Special is its body shape. Martin have designed a unique asymmetrical body shape, allowing for greater comfort - great for those acoustic gigs, where sometime a regular acoustic body just feels a little cumbersome. The body is constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top and complete with eye-catching ziricote fine veneer gloss finished back and sides. The aperture design rosette with multi-stripes adds to the guitars premium looks.
Things take another step forward with the patent-pending Sure Align neck system. This new design (with no-heel) gives player full access to all of the frets, perfect for reaching those high notes, and with its low profile velocity neck profile, the guitar makes for supreme playability and comfort. The neck itself is made from select hardwood which is then topped with an ebony fingerboard set with 22 frets and ziricote dot inlays with plastic ivory pattern border.
Primarily designed as an electro-acoustic guitar that can be plugged in (though still wonderful as a straight acoustic!), Martin have opted for the LR Baggs Element to keep things purring along, making it easy to get a great plugged in sound - ideal for gigs, rehearsals and studio work.
Other appointments include an ebony bridge, ebony headplate and nickel open gear keyhole tuners with skeleton key knobs.
The guitar comes complete with a soft-shell case.
