The SC-10E Spruce is a seriously comfortable and versatile performer. Its smaller body makes it ideal for players who find dreadnoughts unwieldy, while the solid wood construction and E1 electronics ensure it sounds great both unplugged and amplified – a great choice for gigging singer-songwriters and smaller-framed players.

Frequently Asked Questions
The E1 is designed for a more natural, less processed amplified tone; it's less about mimicking a mic and more about faithfully reproducing the acoustic sound.
The selected hardwood neck offers a comfortable, fairly standard profile – not too thin, not too thick – generally suitable for most hand sizes, but a try-before-you-buy is always best.
Richlite is incredibly stable and doesn't need the same level of care as traditional wood fingerboards; just wipe it down occasionally with a soft cloth.
