Description
Blending cutting-edge performance features with traditional acoustic guitar design, the Martin SC-28e is a premium instrument with something to offer to every musician. While its aging toner finish, tortoise pattern pickguard, and multi-stripe rosette give it the appearance of a vintage-inspired guitar, state-of-the-art upgrades like the internal soundboard recurve give it a world-class sound fit for the modern guitarist. For the acoustic performer who demands nothing but the best, the Martin SC-28e is the ultimate option.
Laying the foundation for the SC-28e's rich, rounded voice is the East Indian Rosewood body and spruce top. Together, these tonewoods project a powerful, balanced sound with ample volume, punchy bass, and clear, cutting trebles. New to this model is an internal soundboard recurve, an exciting feature that enhances its low-end response for more depth and fullness. It also boasts a Fishman Aura VT Blend pickup system, one of the most advanced acoustic guitar amplification devices, ensuring your tone stays clean, clear, and full of dynamics.
In addition to its splendid sound, the Martin SC-28e is a joy to play. Its select hardwood neck features a low-profile velocity shape that is slightly asymmetrical and has a gentle twist, allowing it to fit the natural shape of your hand in all playing positions. Additionally, its heel-less Sure Align neck system allows for seamless transitions into the upper register, a must-have feature for melodic players.
The attention to detail is evident throughout the SC-28e, from the ebony fingerboard and bridge to the elegant multi-stripe rosette and nickel open-gear tuners with traditional butterbean knobs. A compensated bone saddle and bone nut go a step further to guarantee a top-notch tone, while the tortoise pattern pickguard adds a touch of vintage charm.
The Martin SC-28e comes with a durable molded hardshell case, so it's ready to go wherever your music takes you. With its groundbreaking design and exceptional sound quality, this guitar is an outstanding choice for musicians seeking performance and style in one package. Experience the next level of acoustic guitar innovation with the Martin SC-28e.
