In the instrument world, Koa provides clarity like rosewood, midrange like mahogany, and top end like maple. We thought it would be an intriguing choice for an Orchestra Model, offering a subtly different tone profile and EQ. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs we picked through dozens of Koa sets, we found one with interesting character along the center and a book-match that was just right. But our friend \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eTheresa from the Martin Custom Shop seemed oddly attached to this set, directing us towards certain choices and dissuading alternatives. Reflecting her influence on the specs and resulting celebrating this unique piece, we call it \"Theresa's Guitar.\" These are her specs, and the result is a work of art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Custom Shop OM features an Ambertone top finish and Style-41 top border. It has dark Rosewood binding that makes the pearl pop against the sunburst. The Ebony fingerboard sports Style-45 snowflake inlays, and it even has Rosewood binding along edge—not the most flashy detail, but a touch of elegance that requires high-level of precision to pull off. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe artistry from the Martin Custom Shop remains unparalleled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe Custom Shop OM-41 boasts a premium High Altitude Swiss Spruce top and hand-graduated, scalloped Adirondack Spruce bracing.
