Martin 000-12E Koa Acoustic Guitar
Catalogue No: igMAR-00012E
With a stunning koa veneer on a mahogany body, this environmentally conscious guitar looks incredible and sounds warm and full with crisp notes thanks to the sitka spruce top. Combining this with the Fishman MX-T electronics, this stage ready guitar has a soft shell gig bag too - and at an excellent value for the materials used.
What they say
With the 000-12E Koa in Martin’s lineup, now more players can turn their dreams of owning a koa guitar into reality. The back and side of this gorgeous model are constructed with koa fine veneer, which is an environmentally conscious, alternative-wood option, made by bonding koa hardwood to an African mahogany core. The result is the show-stopping look of a koa guitar at a great price. But there is so much more to this guitar. Aside from the balance and comfort of the 000, you will get mother-of-pearl-patterned rosette and fingerboard inlay, a full-gloss body, a soft-shell gig bag, Fishman® MX-T electronics, and Martin’s Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 strings. With all that, the 000-12E Koa is worthy of any stage.
