Martin SC-10E - Koa
Martin
Martin is a reputable American company which has been making guitar for almost 200 years. Throughout the years they have become one of the best when it comes to western guitars. This is because quality is their biggest priority. Consequently, Martin guitars are very popular. There are even many famous guitarists who use Martin guitars, like Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, and David Gilmour. Furthermore, their production process is environmentally friendly. Since the ‘90s they have worked together with the FSC to prevent deforestation. They only use wood from trees that have to be cut down to keep the forest healthy. The other parts of the guitar are recycled, as well. By purchasing a Martin guitar you are thus not only investing in quality, but also the environment.
The Road Series
Martin developed the Road Series in order to produce the ideal studio and stage guitars. In this process, they looked at what professional guitarists wanted in a studio and stage guitar. Subsequently, they combined these needs into the Road Series guitars. Furthermore, the price doesn’t indicate the quality, because the prices are significantly lower than most professional studio and stage guitars on the market. This means the guitars aren’t only suited for professional guitarists, but also up-and-coming guitarists and amateurs. All Road Series guitars are delivered with Fishman MX-T electronics. This system creates an authentic amplified sound. The system is hidden inside the guitar, so it also looks authentic. The Road Series guitars are available in different shapes, kinds, finishes, colours, and materials.
The SC-10E
The SC-10E, with its patented Sure Align neck system, gives you full access to all frets so you can comfortably reach those high notes. It’s also equipped with a low-profile velocity neck barrel that ergonomically accommodates your hand as you move up the neck, giving you the comfort and playability of an electric. The affordably priced SC-10E includes a satin-finished Sitka spruce top and stunning koa fine veneer back and sides. The design motif features a black and white aperture rosette inlay that is complemented by an ebony headplate, fingerboard, and bridge and black tuners and knobs.
