Martin SC-10E Modern Acoustic Electric guitar

The Martin SC-10E Modern is the gateway to a new era of acoustic guitar design. While it shares the same revolutionary DNA as the award-winning SC-13E, the SC-10E is built for the player who wants that "no-limits" playability in a more affordable, workhorse package.

Whether you're an electric player moving to acoustic or a songwriter looking for the most comfortable stage guitar on the market, the SC-10E removes the physical barriers between you and your music.

The Core Innovation: Play Without Limits

• The S-Shape Body: The asymmetrical offset design isn't just for looks. It provides a balanced, ergonomic feel that sits perfectly against your body, while the thinner profile helps prevent the feedback often associated with traditional acoustic-electrics.
• Sure Align® Neck System: Featuring a patented linear dovetail neck joint, the SC-10E eliminates the traditional "heel." This gives you total, uninhibited access to all 20 frets—it plays more like a high-performance electric than any acoustic you've ever touched.
• Low Profile Velocity Neck: The neck features an ergonomic "helical" carve that subtly changes shape as you move up the fretboard, ensuring your hand stays in a natural, comfortable position for both open chords and high-register leads.

Tone That Cuts Through

• All-Solid Wood Foundation: Unlike many guitars in this price range, the SC-10E features a Solid Sitka Spruce top paired with Solid Sapele back and sides (or Koa Fine Veneer, depending on the specific model variation). This combination delivers punchy mids, crisp trebles, and that legendary Martin projection.
• Tone Tension X-Bracing: Specifically engineered for the SC body shape, this bracing is scalloped on the treble side to allow for more vibration and clarity, while remaining non-scalloped on the bass side for stability and punch.
• Fishman® MX-T Electronics: Stage-ready right out of the box. The MX-T system includes a discreet soundhole-mounted tuner that mutes your output when engaged—perfect for quick, silent tuning between songs.
