Martin Custom Shop 0-28K 12-Fret All Koa 1929 Style Acoustic Guitar

Martin Custom Shop 0-28K 12-Fret All Koa 1929 Style Acoustic Guitar

The Martin Custom Shop 0-28K 12-Fret 1929 Style Acoustic Guitar is crafted from Hawaiian Koa, a dense tropical hardwood that blends midrange focus with extra top-end brightness and chime. Koa's tone profile blends the midrange of mahogany with the top end of maple. Due to its density, a new koa guitar tends to start out sounding a little bright and tight, somewhat like maple. But the more a koa guitar is played, the more the sound opens up, expanding the midrange and rewarding the player with a richer, sweeter, more resonant tone. This beautiful sound comes in a concert model build, a small, compact body that provides clear, crisp trebles with delicate bass.

This Martin Custom Shop guitar is built exclusively for Alamo Music Center, with hand-selected woods by our team at the Martin Pennsylvania build shop.

This custom build is yet to be finished, but the photos show the hand-selected woods. This guitar can be yours today. By pre-ordering, you are reserving it before anyone else.
