Martin 000-28K Authentic 1921 Koa Overview
The Martin 000-28K Authentic 1921 Koa is based around a pristine 1921 000-28K housed in the Martin Museum collection and it's a completely faithful recreation of the original. With flamed Hawaiian koa top, back and sides, full hide glue construction and a hand shaped neck, without a truss rod it's a vintage guitar fans dream! Best of all Martin's new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the bracing so the 000-28K even sounds like a vintage instrument, straight out of the case!The new Martin VTS acts to age the wood used to put VTS guitars together. Martin have even refined the process to such an extent they can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. It's a little like this guitar's been aged in a time machine! If you want a collectible guitar that will last you decades to come, look no further than the Martin 000-28K Authentic 1921 Koa.
