Martin SC-13E: play without limits, all the way to the last fret

Ever felt boxed in playing the upper frets of a steel-string? On many acoustics, the neck heel gets in the way exactly where you need it least. The Martin SC-13E from the Road Series solves that with its revolutionary Sure Align neck system and asymmetric S-13 Fret body shape, giving you completely free access up to the 20th fret — playability you would otherwise expect only from a perfectly set-up electric. Perfect for singer-songwriters, lead players, and anyone crossing over from electric guitar.

Solid spruce top meets fine koa veneer

The combination of a solid spruce top and koa veneer back and sides delivers a clear, balanced tone with plenty of projection — punchy enough for the stage, warm enough for the living room. The ergonomic Low Profile Velocity neck with High-Performance Taper adapts naturally to your hand as you move up the neck, while the ebony fingerboard with its striking Ziricote Dot inlays (with Faux Ivory border) and the Single Ring Faux Abalone rosette give the SC-13E a distinctive, modern look.

LR Baggs Element: natural tone for the stage

For live use, the SC-13E Modern relies on the trusted LR Baggs Element system — an under-saddle piezo pickup prized for its natural, uncolored acoustic tone. The guitar ships strung with Martin Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings for lasting brilliance and tuning stability.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Unrestricted fretboard access: Sure Align neck system with no obstructing heel, up to the 20th fret.
• Balanced, projecting tone: Solid spruce top paired with warm koa veneer.
• Stage-ready electronics: LR Baggs Element for natural, uncolored acoustic tone.
• Effortless playability: Ergonomic Velocity neck profile with High-Performance Taper.
• Ready to go: Includes gigbag and premium Martin Lifespan 2.0 strings.
