Martin Road Series SC-10E Spruce Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Sapele Back & Sides, Natural Satin

Manufacturer's Description

Martin’s revolutionary SC body shape just got even more versatile. The SC-10E Spruce joins the Road Series, offering a fresh take on the super-playable, ultra-comfortable acoustic-electric design. Built for effortless performance, it features Martin’s patented Sure Align® neck system, giving you unrestricted access to every fret, while the Low Profile Velocity neck barrel ensures a fast, natural feel. Its solid spruce top delivers crisp articulation and a broad dynamic range, while solid sapele back and sides provide warmth, punchy mids, and airy trebles. Sleek yet understated, it boasts a satin finish, black binding, and a single-ring faux abalone rosette, with an FSC®-certified Richlite® fingerboard and bridge for smooth playability and durability. When plugged in, Martin E1 electronics offer onboard volume, tone, and phase controls, plus a built-in chromatic tuner for silent, hassle-free tuning. Whether you’re playing at home, on stage, or in the studio, the SC-10E Spruce is a game-changer—an acoustic-electric that breaks free from tradition and plays as great as it sounds.
