As the backbone of the brand, Martin Standard Series acoustic guitars have helped shape modern music, combining nearly two centuries of craftsmanship and manufacturing techniques to create the defining template for American flattop acoustic guitars.
Pairing today’s latest technology with timeless style and tone, the new Martin SC-18E Spruce/Mahogany combines SC innovations and Standard Series appointments to marry modern playability with classic looks. Featuring an internal soundboard recurve for added bass response, the SC-18E’s low-profile velocity satin neck barrel and patented Sure Align neck system ensure it always fits comfortably in hand. The SC-18E boasts a gloss spruce top with mahogany back and sides—plus, ebony fingerboard and bridge—offering ample volume, bright treble, and punchy midrange for that classic Martin sound.
