This C.F. Martin Custom Shop 00-14F Flamed Koa Acoustic Guitar was built using woods and specifications selected by Grant MacNeill during a tour of the Martin plant during May 2017.
For this guitar, Grant selected a 00 body design and a flamed Koa back and side Set #6. The torrefied top was specifically chosen from a large pile by Grant, with wide grain to ensure that it was responsive for a light finger picking style.
Similarly, the bracing pattern for maximum pre-war style responsiveness but married this up to a modern neck with a shallow neck carve so it would be a comfortable instrument to sit with.
This guitar is wonderfully responsive, with a crisp, brilliant shimmer. The original Martin hardshell case is included.
