The Korena take
The Martin SC-28E is an acoustic-electric built with a solid spruce top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, and a deep asymmetrical single cutaway. Its Sure Align neck system, slim profile, High-Performance taper, and satin neck finish are intended to make upper-fret playing more accessible. L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics combine a condenser and Element pickup, with volume, EQ and body blend controls for amplified use. Ebony parts, nickel open-gear tuners, and a molded hardshell case complete the package.
