Overview

Beautiful highly flamed Hawaiian koa adorns this guitar's back and sides.

The Martin M-38 Koa Special is an acoustic guitar that features beautifully flamed Hawaiian koa, a Style "45" snowflake inlay pattern, and gold hardware. Long prized on the stage and in the studio, Martin's M-38 Grand Auditorium guitar combines the "0000" shape with the thinner "000" body depth for exceptionally balanced tone. Martin includes a Geib-style case with the M-38 Koa Special Acoustic Guitar.
