Description This special D-12E dreadnought from Martin gets a tonewood upgrade, with exotic koa serving as its back and sides and solid Sitka spruce providing its mature, dynamic response. In addition to quality solid tonewood selection, this guitar features a smooth-as-glass Richlite fingerboard and a hand-rubbed neck finish for clean access to all 20 frets. Like the standard D-12E, the Koa model also sports Fishman MX-T electronics with an auto-mute tuner for convenient stage amplification and plug-in recording convenience. All told, if you've been searching for a solid-wood Martin dreadnought with classic looks and time-honored tone and playing response, the D-12E Koa delivers plenty of bang for the buck.
