6-string Acoustic Guitar with HPL Top, HPL Back and Sides, Birch Laminate Neck, and Richlite Fingerboard - Natural Koa

The Koa Special Dreadnought acoustic guitar brings a touch of figured-koa-patterned elegance to Martin’s ultra-durable X series. This guitar’s dreadnought-sized body is constructed with cutting-edge HPL (High-Pressure Laminate), a composite material that’s extraordinarily stable, resisting the temperature- and humidity-induced changes that can so often be a challenge when playing traditional wood guitars in challenging environments. The X series Koa Special Dread’s HPL body is then covered with beautiful koa-patterned HPL, granting you the best of classic Martin looks and modern guitar-building innovation. A natural birch laminate neck topped with a slab of composite richlite mirrors the new-meets-old foundation set by the body, with a fast-playing High-Performance Taper profile. And while the Martin X series Koa Special Dread’s construction diverts far from the old-school Martin course, this guitar’s big X-braced body delivers all the iconic low-end depth, punchy projection, and sonic versatility you’d expect from a Martin Dreadnought.

Big-bodied dreadnought tonal depth

As much as we love Martin’s smaller-bodied models here, it’s tough to beat the iconic sound of a big-bodied Martin dreadnought. The shape is practically synonymous with the words “acoustic guitar” for good reason — from singer/songwriter strumming to fingerpicking to flatpicking, the dreadnought does it all without breaking a sweat. Martin’s X series Koa Special Dreadnought captures all the traditional Martin tonal notes — rich bass, clear highs, and impressive projection — making it an excellent do-it-all acoustic for the guitarist playing out or seeking a low-maintenance 6-string.


Sustainable building materials

Martin is all about sustainability. That’s why they’ve used eco-friendly materials on the X series Koa Special. The warm and resonant HPL sides and back display a gorgeous figured koa pattern pattern. The bridge and fingerboard are made with FSC-certified richlite. Richlite is a composite material with sonic characteristics somewhere between rosewood and ebony. Richlite is totally unaffected by temperature and humidity change, requires very little maintenance, and feels great under your fingers.

Martin X Series Koa Special Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Body constructed from ultra-durable HPL (High-Pressure Laminate), then topped with figured-koa-patterned HPL for a traditional Martin look
  • HPL is extremely resistant to temperature and humidity changes, making it ideal for guitarists who perform in challenging environments or prefer a low-maintenance acoustic
  • Classic dreadnought body style with X-bracing serves as a 6-string jack-of-all-trades, tackling lively flatpicking, quiet fingerstyle, and singer/songwriter accompaniment with ease
  • Highly stable natural birch laminate neck finished off with composite Richlite fingerboard
  • Somewhat slim Martin High-Performance Taper neck gives you a fast-playing feel
  • 1.75-inch nut width offers enough room for fingerpickers without feeling too wide for flatpickers
