Martin 00-28-KOA-CS – Custom Shop – Premium Grade Koa 14-Fret (#3012668)

*Photos shown are of the actual guitar. Serial Number 3012668.

Exclusively crafted by the Martin Custom Shop, this 00-28 is a one-of-a-kind instrument that stands apart from standard production models. Its defining characteristic is the use of Premium Grade Exceptional Broad Figure Koa for the top, back, and sides, representing the absolute highest tier of wood from Martin’s reserves. This rare material not only provides a stunning, multi-dimensional visual aesthetic but also delivers a complex and resonant voice unique to this specific build. Beneath the surface, Golden Era scalloped bracing ensures the guitar is as mechanically responsive as it is beautiful. As a singular Custom Shop creation, this guitar offers a level of exclusivity and craftsmanship that you simply cannot find in an off-the-shelf instrument.
