The Story

Custom Shop 0-12 Fret 28-Style Koa Black Top Natural Back and Sides 2016

This is a used and still in excellent condition Martin Custom Shop 0-12 Fret guitar. It features lots of Authentic specs that include an Adirondack spruce top and bracing, full hide glue construction, and a pyramid bridge. It's a striking looking guitar with a black finish over the spruce, paired with natural finished figured koa for the back and sides! The guitar has a 28 style rosette and neck volute, all bound with lightly figured maple. The neck is quite special, it almost has the feel of a '59 Les Paul with a full round "C" shape. The peg tuners are special as well, with internal gears to give you tuning accuracy while keeping the looks vintage-accurate. There are light pick marks around the top finish, no dings nor dents. The original case is included!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
