Hard to find Koa Martin D-42K. Excellent condition with some slight finish dings. All original, includes the original Martin 640 molded hardshell case and LR Baggs Lyric pickup. It really is a fine playing and sounding instrument, simply plug and play! You got to try it out to believe.
Solid Sitka spruce top and solid figured koa wood back and sides. Low-profile solid mahogany neck with solid black ebony fretboard and bridge. Headplate is solid East Indian rosewood with abalone Martin inlay. Abalone snowflake fingerboard markers. Black-and-white body binding front and back. Beautiful and delicate Gotoh gold open-geared tuning machines with butterbean knobs. Tortoise-color pickguard. This guitar is built very light (compared to the usual Martin Indian Rosewood dreads) and has a bright and articulate, yet well-balanced tone with warm sustain. Works with Gauge 12 strings but I would recommend Gauge 13 (Medium) Martin SP Lifespan strings to really bring out the true power of this guitar.
CONDITION
9/10 Excellent+, very minimal user marks. Overall super well maintained and kept in casing with dry packs all the time when not in use. Dehumidified on a quarterly basis to avoid damage from Singapore's humid weather.
