Sound Pure's Take

What a voice on this thing! Warm, honey sweet and very crisp, but with a bit of reverb and sustain that you don't get from maple. Koa is the best of both worlds tone wood, and man, did they get a great-looking set for this one. It's in the original twelve-fret body size, too, it feels like it's a lot more to hold on to and dehaves more like a OO, tons of bass, more like a 12-fret dread. Very unique and stunning guitar!

From Martin and Co.

The Basics

Based upon a pristine 1921 000-28K from the Martin Museum collection, this slotted head 12-fret is a completely faithful recreation of the original, featuring flamed Hawaiian koa top, back and sides, hide glue construction and a hand shaped neck without a truss rod. Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the bracing.

The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
