A masterpiece of craftsmanship with all-flamed koa construction.
The Martin Custom Shop Jumbo Style 41 is a stunning acoustic guitar crafted entirely from hand-selected flamed koa, known for its distinctive visual appeal and tonal properties. This premium tonewood delivers a bright, warm tone that continues to evolve with age, offering richer overtones and increased resonance. The jumbo body style adds depth and power to the bass response, making this guitar ideal for players seeking a big, resonant sound with strong projection.
All-Flamed Koa Body for Rich, Evolving Tone
Featuring flamed koa for both the top and the back and sides, this guitar delivers a striking aesthetic and a unique tonal character. The koa body imparts a clear, articulate sound that becomes even richer as the guitar ages, developing deeper overtones and increased sustain. The forward-shifted scalloped bracing enhances the guitar’s responsiveness, giving it a balanced sound with excellent projection.
Ornate Details with Style 41 Abalone Inlays
The Custom Shop Jumbo is adorned with exquisite detailing, including a Style 41 abalone rosette and perimeter inlay. The ornate inlay work along the fingerboard and body demonstrates Martin’s commitment to craftsmanship. The CFM Martin block abalone logo on the headstock adds an elegant touch, while the gold Grover tuners ensure precise tuning stability and add to the luxurious aesthetic of this instrument.
