Default Martin sc13e

Has anyone tried one of these yet? Looks an interesting thing...?
I like the idea of the apparent ease of playing, but has it an acoustic sound worth hearing?
Very short supply here in UK so I've not been able to try one.
What do you think?

I have a dc13e and like it very much easy playing, nice sound and very nice build quality. Probably be hanging on to this one.

I bought one about a month ago. I kept calling my local shop and they finally got one in. I have no complaints.

I like mine very much. It's a great instrument and a keeper for me.

Andertons and Gear4music are taking orders at the moment.

Don't accept the criticisms of its tone unplugged or otherwise based on reviews until you've played at least one. Mine sounds lovely.

I'd worry about the stability of the neck over time as it lacks the heel

The DC-13E is my dream. I'd imagine the SC to be as great.
