Martin SC-10E Modern Sapele

Overview

The Martin SC-10E Modern Sapele delivers an ultra-playable acoustic-electric experience with a warm, balanced tone profile. Built on Martin’s innovative SC body design, this model offers unmatched upper-fret access and a comfortable feel suited for players who move fluidly between rhythm and lead work. Its all-sapele construction provides a focused midrange, smooth trebles, and a woody character that works equally well on stage or at home.

A Low Profile Velocity neck adds familiarity and ease to the playing experience, while the satin finish keeps things feeling fast and resonant. Factory-equipped with Martin’s E1 electronics and an onboard tuner, the SC-10E Modern Sapele is stage-ready and comes complete with a softshell case.
