Handpicked Tonewoods Offer Engaging Sound

The Martin SC-18E's solid spruce top, and East Indian rosewood back and sides, are carefully chosen for their tonal qualities. Spruce delivers complex overtones in the mids and highs, while rosewood projects warmth and richness in the lows and low mids. Together, they create a versatile sound that锟斤拷s equally suited for strumming chords, fingerpicking melodies or soloing in the upper registers. An internal soundboard recurve further enhances the bass response, offering deeply immersive sound across the tonal spectrum. The SC-28E's resonant complexity is one of its many charms, providing both players and audiences an acoustic experience unlike any other.

Effortless Fretting on a Sure Align Neck

The SC-28E's Sure Align neck system utilizes patented mortise and tenon joints for a strong, stable connection to the body. This also allows the neck to be chiseled down to an ergonomic slim profile and high-performance taper for comfort and speed, giving electric guitarists a familiar feeling platform to show off their skills. Combined with the smooth satin finish, these features make playing anywhere on the neck effortless, whether you prefer to hold the rhythm down, dazzle with lightning-fast leads or maintain a musical balance of both. Its 1-3/4" nut width is another win in the "comfort" column, perfect for smaller hands, long studio sessions or dynamic performances. Forgo tradition and step into the future of acoustic guitar performance with the Martin SC-28E.
