2024 Martin Road Series SC-10E Satin Sapele
Martin Road Series SC-10E offers a seamless blend of form and functionality. This acoustic-electric model, belonging to the esteemed lineage of Martin guitars, demonstrates commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Both the top and back of the SC-10E are meticulously crafted from sapele, a tonewood celebrated for its rich, balanced sound. This tonal integrity is further enhanced by the guitar's S-13 fret cutaway body shape, allowing for optimal resonance. The natural, satin finish not only brings out the subtle grain of the sapele but also ensures a sleek look and feel.
The guitar's satin finished neck promises both durability and a smooth playing experience. Crowning the neck is an ebony fingerboard, known for its tight grain and smooth feel under the fingers. A 16" fingerboard radius complements the ergonomic design, making chord transitions fluid and effortless. The fingerboard's aesthetics are elevated by the mother of pearl pattern, interspersed with black sparkle dots. And, with 20 frets at your disposal, a vast sonic landscape awaits exploration. The neck profile, described as a low-profile velocity shape with a high-performance taper, further enhances the playability, making it feel akin to the comfort of an electric guitar.
SC-10E's voice can also be amplified thanks to the integrated Fishman MX-T electronics. The system comes with standard controls for volume and tone, ensuring that the guitar's inherent sound is faithfully projected when plugged in.
Safety and portability are guaranteed with the included gig bag. This Martin Road Series SC-10E embodies an evolution in acoustic-electric design, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern ergonomic features. A true testament to Martin's innovation in the world of guitars.
