Sound Pure's Take

Golly Gee Whiz!

At SoundPure I feel spoiled with all the great acoustics I get to play on a day to day basis, so when I saw this 00 from Martin I wasn't expecting to be blown away. Then I played it. 

For a guitar that's less than a decade old, it's got a lot of movement to it. The low end resonates out and fills the room. The trebles are bright, clear, and musical. Chords are defined and crisp. I'm hooked.

Generally with Koa this new I tend to feel that they lack a certain character, but I feel none of that playing this guitar. If you're looking for a guitar that sounds as good at it looks, the search may be over!

From Martin and Co.

This is a Martin Custom Shop order.
