The Story

Custom Shop 5 Terz 12-String Figured Koa Acoustic Guitar Natural

If you’re looking for that special instrument to bring you out of a writing rut, or just something different to inspire new ideas and sounds – this Martin Custom Shop Size 5 Terz high up on our list of guitars to pick up. This beautiful one of a kind guitar was built with a VTS sitka spruce top on unbelievable looking pieces of figured koa for the top, back, and sides – not to mention headstock overlay. The guitar has a comfortable slight “V’ shape to the maple neck, and outlined in east Indian rosewood for the top body binding.

The Terz has a short 21.38” scale length, and currently strung up to be tuned to A. The tuning still allows you to keep all your same chord shapes, but bring new harmonic sounds and overtones out. Overall, an excellent instrument that is a ton of fun to play, and hard to put down.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Paperwork
