The Martin SC-10E Modern Sapele is engineered for players seeking effortless access across the fretboard, balanced tone, and modern playability. Its S-13 Fret cutaway body combined with all-solid sapele construction delivers rich midrange, clear trebles, and a touch of high-end sparkle, making it versatile enough for fingerstyle, strumming, or solo work. The satin finish, subtle diamond-and-square inlays, and streamlined aesthetics give it a contemporary, stage-ready look.
Featuring a Low Profile Velocity neck with high-performance taper and Martin’s patented Sure Align linear dovetail neck joint, the SC-10E provides precision, comfort, and fast, familiar feel similar to an electric guitar. With Martin E1 electronics, a built-in tuner, and a softshell case included, this SC-10E Modern Sapele is ready for recording, live performance, or home practice.
