MARTINSC-13E Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Q: Is the koa fine veneer actual wood? is this an all wood guitar? made in mexico?

The Kia veneer surrounds a mahogany core, so I would say that this is an all wood guitar.

Q: plywood back and sides (veneer)? Is the top at least solid? Martin charges a lot of money these days for plywood.

It’s a solid spruce top. I don’t recall the back and sides but it probably is laminate. Plywood is derogatory. Personally, I don’t question the materials. I question the sound and the quality. Martin’s are made well. I have a DX series Martin that has HPL back and sides (spruce top) and, it sounds great and it is a tank. Tuning stays put forever and even humidity isn’t hard on It. People here in Florida use them on the beach. Fact is, Martin is innovating in materials but others are too. While the SC-13 doesn’t have the booming dreadnaught sound, it sounds very nice unplugged and plugged in. It is easy to play and I find the body style very comfortable. I am 5’7” and 140# so a dreadnaught is big to hug comfortably for me.

Q: ia there a hard case for this guitar? I want to travel with it and check it.

I took my SC-13 to a guitar store and the guy there let me try out several hard cases. It can fit into several. Buy the one that fits your budget.

Q: I am coming from a Martin X 000 - her boot is 15 1/ 2 and her width is 4 inches. Can you possibly compare these measurements for me?

The 13 is a standard dreadnaught size. I have an 000 which is smaller than a dreadnaught.
