Its offset S-shaped body fits you like a glove, while providing balanced output and effective feedback rejection. Its sloped bridge stays out of your hand&rsquo;s way, whether you&rsquo;re strumming frenetically or fingerpicking delicately. Its low-profile velocity neck shape allows for helical hand rotation to ensure that every hand position feels relaxed and natural. Its 13-fret design blends the tone of a long-scale instrument with the playability of a short-scale, and its heel-less Sure Align neck system gives you unfettered access to the SC-13E&rsquo;s entire fretboard. And its low action, while maintaining the feel of an acoustic guitar, is sure to make electric players feel right at home. No matter what you&rsquo;re playing, cowboy chords, jazz shapes, or rapid-fire leads, the SC-13E makes it effortless.</p> <h4>An acoustic guitar through and through</h4> <p>There have been numerous attempts at creating a comfortable acoustic that would appeal to electric guitar players. Unfortunately, the results are often less than mind-blowing &mdash; typically a super-thin acoustic instrument with equally thin tone. The Martin Road Series SC-13E eschews this type of thinking. While its comfortable neck and low action ensure easy playability, the SC-13E is an acoustic guitar through and through, meticulously crafted by a company with a 180-year history of building legendary acoustic instruments. Its Sitka spruce top yields the direct, punchy sound and broad dynamic range that the tonewood is known for, while its fine-tuned body with tailored X-bracing produces near-cannon-like levels of volume and projection.&nbsp;</p> <h4>Fishman MX-T system with built-in tuner</h4> <p>When you want to hit the stage with the Road Series SC-13E, it&rsquo;ll be ready, thanks to its Fishman MX-T electronics. The Fishman MX-T system is an update of the popular Matrix series and features a cool, line-of-sight tuner located in the soundhole. This built-in tuner auto-mutes the audio output so you can tune any time. Its convenient placement in the soundhole allows you a full view without straining to see its LCD screen. All you have to do is look down. The SC-13E is a stellar A/E &mdash; it has everything it needs to be your number one in the studio, onstage, and anywhere else where top-shelf playability, comfort, and versatility are a concern.</p> <h4>Features:</h4> <ul class="webtext-block--colcount"> <li>6-string acoustic-electric guitar with amazing playability, comfort, and versatility</li> <li>Offset S-shaped body fits you like a glove, while providing balanced output and effective feedback rejection</li> <li>Sloped bridge stays out of your hand&rsquo;s way, whether you&rsquo;re strumming or fingerpicking</li> <li>Low-profile velocity neck shape allows for helical hand rotation to ensure relaxed and natural feel</li> <li>13-fret design blends the tone of a long-scale instrument with the playability of a short-scale</li> <li>Heel-less Sure Align neck system gives you unfettered access to the entire fretboard</li> <li>Low action maintains the feel of an acoustic guitar, while providing effortless playability</li> <li>Sitka spruce top yields the direct, punchy sound and broad dynamic range that the tonewood is known for</li> <li>Fine-tuned body with tailored X-bracing produces near-cannon-like levels of volume and projection</li> <li>Onboard Fishman MX-T electronics deliver stellar amplified acoustic tone</li> <li>Line-of-sight tuner located in the soundhole makes tuning a breeze</li> <li>Tuner auto-mutes audio output so you can tune any time</li> <li>Eye-grabbing tortoise-pattern pickguard, mother-of-pearl celestial blue dot fingerboard inlay, and aperture-design rosette</li> </ul> </div>
