Condition is like-new. I will be enjoying this guitar and despite my absolute care to keep it hydrated and not to scratch it some small surface abrasions from the pick may occur. One tiny impression on the top right shoulder by pickguard.
FULL SETUP:
- Neck Straightened
- Fret levels checked.
- Frets hand polished then buffed w/ polishing wheel.
- All screws and bolts torqued.
- Plastic bridge pins replaced with solid brass.
- Action set.
- Strung up with Stringjoy Brights 13 - 56.
The D-12E Koa will undoubtedly become your go-to gig guitar. With the D-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 legendary Martin tone, 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.
