This very striking Custom Shop 000 Koa from Martin comes in at a  surprisingly low price. It's hard to find koa of this figure and flame on anything less than $4K! The secret is that it's built on a 15-series platform, so you get all the warmth and mid-range strength from that series with more sparkle and chime from Koa. Overall a great sounding 000 with plenty of presence and downright killer looks. Excellent condition with nary a scratch on and plastic pick guard overlay still intact.
