Withdrawal termsDescription
This special edition of Martin’s 000-12E western guitar has been upgraded and equipped with exotic koa on the back and sides, while the top remains crafted from solid Sitka spruce. In addition to the quality wood, this guitar features a Richlite fretboard and a hand-polished neck finish that provides comfortable access to all 20 frets. Like the 000-12E, the koa model also has a Fishman MX-T pickup system with a built-in tuner for convenient amplification and recording.
Compared to a dreadnought guitar, the 000-12E model is both thinner (approx. 16 mm) and narrower. This makes for a guitar that is comfortable and easy to play, while also having a very focused midrange—something many fingerstyle guitarists and solo artists look for in their guitar. The smaller body size does not produce quite the same powerful bass as a dreadnought model, but the 000-12E still delivers a noticeably solid bass, a warm and focused midrange, and a great wealth of overtones in the treble range.
The strength and elasticity of the spruce top produce a tone with a wide dynamic range and crisp articulation, making it suitable for a wide variety of playing styles. The spruce top is complemented by the exotic koa wood, which adds sweetness and clarity. Another advantage of koa wood is that it is a type of wood that matures very readily, so you will quickly notice the guitar’s tone opening up and becoming deeper than it was when you first acquired the guitar.
