Still in overall excellent condition and just barely played- this is a used 2023 Martin Custom Major Kealakai model from Martin, a limited edition instrument paying tribute to a musical legend and a quite unique guitar! Major Kealakai was a guitar, trombone, and flute player trained by the Royal Hawaiian Band and was inducted into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame in 1996. In 1916, Martin made the Major a unique custom guitar that was wider, deeper, and longer than a 000. Designed to be louder to help fill concert halls, this historic guitar was the precursor to the Dreadnought. Martin honors Major Kealakai with this limited edition 12-fret custom instrument.
Specs on the Major Kealakai include a VTS Adirondack Spruce top with Sinker Mahogany for the back and sides all wrapped up in Madagascar Rosewood binding! It also includes a dovetail neck joint, hide glue construction, an authentic 1931 neck shape and 1931 X-bracing, and a slotted headstock with Golden Age relic nickel side-mount tuners. The original hardshell case is included.
