An acoustic guitar like no other
The Sweetwater Select SC12E is built upon Martin’s groundbreaking S-13 offset body shape. It’s designed to provide a uniquely comfortable playing experience and feedback rejection. The 13-fret neck joint blends the sound of a long-scale instrument with the effortless playability of a short-scale acoustic. Speaking of playability, the SC12E’s High Performance Taper neck profile and Sure Align linear dovetail neck joint encourage you to explore every single fret. Whether you’re playing cowboy chords, complex jazz shapes, or leads, the SC12E makes it easy.
Beautiful, resonant tonewoods
While the SC12E’s onboard LR Baggs electronics make it an excellent performer onstage, its tonewoods do an equally impressive job unamplified. This acoustic-electric guitar features a solid spruce top with layered koa back and sides. The spruce supplies a clear and hefty punch that pairs perfectly with the warm and exciting midrange of the koa. The back and sides also feature highly flamed koa veneers, which add an extra dose of visual appeal to your guitar.
Generous features you can only get through Sweetwater
The SC12E is available exclusively from Sweetwater. And since it’s unique to us, we custom-spec’d a few features that no other SC Series guitar has. First, you’ll notice that this guitar comes with Diamond and Square fingerboard inlays instead of the standard dots that adorn the SC-13E. Next, we specified an eye-grabbing pearl rosette. When you plug into your favorite amp, you enjoy amazing tones courtesy of an upgraded LR Baggs Element system.
