Martin’s SC10E-02 combines Martin’s newest tradition of innovative SC series acoustic-electric guitars with one of their oldest traditions: professional-grade, hardwood-topped instruments for the working musician. The SC10E-02 starts with the foundation established by its SC series predecessors, including a Sure Align neck system, 13-fret neck joint, and comfortable asymmetrical body shape. However, instead of a standard spruce top, the SC10E-02’s all-sapele body harkens back to Martin’s hardwood-topped instruments from the early 20th century, offering a more mellow and laid-back response. The SC10E-02’s select hardwood neck mirrors the old-meets-new sentiment established by the body, with an ultra-ergonomic low-profile velocity select hardwood neck and smooth richlite fingerboard. Rounded out by MX-T electronics, the SC10E-02 is a performance-minded entryway into the cutting-edge Martin SC series.
