An essential entry in their revamped Road Series, the Martin Road Series SC-10E Modern is an exceptional, off-the-beaten-path way to experience some great Martin tones and playability. This offset, cutaway acoustic brings some fresh spins on classic Martin formulas with a build to stand up to the trials of touring. Any way you dish out this Road Series, you get a killer experience all the way down.

Martin's Road Series assembles as a celebrated lineup of instruments. Matching the iconic acoustic tonality of classic models with exciting, new variations on designs for something altogether fresh, this Road Series SC-10E Modern bucks the standards in a lot of ways. This begins with a lesser-seen body, the S-13 Fret cutaway, brought together by the standby Martin wood, sapele. Decked in a soft satin finish with a uniform, woody Dark Mahogany color, the SC-10E Modern is a great example of Martin sound and style in motion with a Tone Tension X-Brace pattern featuring 5/16" scalloped spruce braces and non-scalloped ¼" tone bars lining its top. Rich and resonant, this is a dynamic Martin sound palette that won't let you down.

For the playing hand, this Road Series extends out with a select hardwood neck, also wrapped in satin, with a Martin Low Profile Velocity profile and High Performance taper. Easily slipping from lower to higher registers, this is easily played with a select hardwood fingerboard lined with twenty frets for smooth chords and articulate fretting. Faux Mother of Pearl Diamonds & Squares Long inlays line the board for a classic and classy Martin visual motif.

Topping everything here off, this Road Series SC-10E Modern is hit with a great lineup of hardware specs and aesthetic appointments. Firstly, this Road Series is backed up by a sturdy setup of hardware appointments to keep playability in check. A white Corian nut and satin chrome enclosed open gear tuning machines make for smooth stringing experiences while a sloped Modern Belly bridge and white TUSQ saddle ground strings stably for a solid transfer of motion. Secondly, this Road Series entry lines up with understated aesthetic appointments like a single-ring fiber rosette makes for an overall unassuming yet effortlessly cool presentation. Onboard Martin E1 electronics quickly and authentically translate the guitar's tones to the stage or studio. This Road Series travels with an included Martin softshell case.

A break from the norm, a spin on classic specs, whatever you want to call it, this Martin Road Series SC-10E Modern is worthy of the name drop.
