Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar

Electroacoustic folk guitar, the SC-13E Special stands out from the classic Martin & Co production in several ways: First of all its shape, the slight asymmetry of the body ensures perfect overall ergonomics, and the inlay of the neck in the body is preceded by a deep cutaway and a particular cut of the heel, ensuring that the frets can be played the highest without worry. Then, by its playing comfort, in fact, when played seated, its asymmetrical sides position the instrument naturally very close to its point of gravity on the knee, thus canceling out the majority of the efforts that the right arm usually makes to hold the instrument against the body. Finally, by the beauty and quality of the chosen woods. If the top remains made of a beautiful solid spruce which remains quite classic, the sides and back are made of Ziricote, a highly figured Central American wood, renowned for the beauty of its veining.
