Martin

Description

Modern Martin design with a solid spruce top, Sure Align neck, and Fishman electronics — built for comfort and stage use. This used Martin SC-13E in Natural is a Road Series acoustic-electric that prioritizes playability and versatility. It features Martin’s innovative Sure Align neck system, which eliminates the traditional heel for easier upper-fret access, plus a low-profile Velocity neck that feels fast and comfortable. Key features: • Solid Sitka spruce top for clear, responsive projection • Koa fine veneer back and sides for warmth and visual appeal • Asymmetrical S-13 cutaway body designed for balanced output and reduced feedback • Sure Align linear dovetail neck joint (heel-less design) • Low Profile Velocity neck with High-Performance Taper, typically 1.75” nut and 25.4” scale • Ebony (or similar) fingerboard with modern inlays • Fishman MX-T electronics with undersaddle piezo, soundhole volume/tone controls, and built-in tuner • Gloss Natural finish • Typically includes a soft case or gig bag New SC-13E models list around $1,599. Used examples in good-to-excellent condition offer solid value on a relatively recent Martin with modern ergonomics that work well for fingerstyle, strumming, and plugged-in performance. The combination of a solid spruce top, comfortable neck, and stage-ready electronics makes it a practical choice for players who want Martin tone without a traditional dreadnought feel. Stop by the Guitar Center location to try the neck, check the condition of the frets and finish, and hear it both acoustic and through an amp.
