Martin Custom Shop 000-12 Fret Exceptional Broad Figure Koa
We purchased this guitar during a Martin Guitar event that we hosted in our Scarsdale shop. Chris Martin IV came to tell us stories of his illustrious family business, and he brought Martin artist Craig Thatcher to demo the selection of Custom Shop guitars in tow. We fell in love with several of them and had to buy them for the shop, including this Hawaiian koa queen.
This guitar features some of the most beautiful figured koa we've ever seen. A 000 size with 12-frets to the body, this guitar feels like a "big parlor" and has sweet and sparkly tones with a really nice mid-range. Perfect for finger-style guitar, or anything that moves you!
Serial number 2995548. Comes with Martin's high-end 5-ply Custom Shop hardshell case with burgundy velvet interior.
