Custom Shop Martin Koa Beauty With Concert Hall Clarity
This Martin Custom Shop 000/OM auditorium is the kind of guitar you do not forget. Highly flamed koa wrapped around that super comfortable 000/OM body gives you a voice that is rich, clear, and incredibly alive under your hands.
If you are chasing an acoustic that feels boutique, records like a dream, and looks like fine furniture, this one hits that sweet spot. It has the focus and balance you want from a smaller body, with enough punch to hold its own on stage or in the studio.
Highly Flamed Koa That Sings
Koa is one of those tonewoods you feel as much as you hear. The highly flamed set on this Custom Shop build lights up under stage lights and has that three dimensional shimmer that photos only partly capture.
Tonally, koa lives in a beautiful space between warmth and chime. You get articulate mids, sweet top end, and a controlled low end that never gets boomy, which makes this guitar perfect for complex chords, alternate tunings, and detailed fingerstyle work.
000/OM Auditorium Body That Sits Right Where You Need It
The 000/OM auditorium shape is a favorite for a reason. It tucks in close to your body, balances effortlessly in your lap or on a strap, and keeps your picking hand in a relaxed, natural position.
That body size also focuses the sound. Instead of a big, woofy low end, you get a tighter, more defined voice that lays into a mix without stepping on the bass player or keys. Real talk, if you spend as much time recording and playing in church or small venues as you do on loud stages, this body style just makes life easier.
Martin Custom Shop Craftsmanship
Custom Shop Martins are built by the folks who obsess over the little things that most players never see but always feel. Neck angles, fretwork, wood selection, voicing the body so it responds evenly across the entire fingerboard.
You feel it the first time you dig in. Notes bloom and hang, chords separate instead of turning to mush, and the whole guitar feels like it is breathing along with your right hand. This is not just a pretty koa box, it is a serious tool for players who know what they want out of an acoustic.
The Stage, Studio, And Sofa All Covered
This 000/OM koa shines in a lot of situations. Solo singer songwriter sets where the guitar has to carry harmony and rhythm. Worship and CCM where clarity and dynamics matter more than sheer volume. Studio sessions where the producer wants something that tracks cleanly without a fight.
It is also a killer couch guitar. The smaller body is easy to live with, so you end up playing more, which is really the whole point.
