This Round Hill Music Co. spec'd Martin utilizes absolutely exceptional, hand-selected, broad figure koa for the back and sides creating not only a visually striking appearance, but also a balanced tone with a strong midrange, bright highs, and tight, controlled bass. Koa will become warmer, richer, and more complex over time as it ages is played more.
The Martin "J" body is a large jumbo-style acoustic guitar shape with a wide lower bout and a rounded outline with a pronounced waist. It is bigger than a Dreadnought, giving it more internal air volume and a fuller visual profile. The design is meant to produce strong projection and deep bass while maintaining a clear, balanced tone.
The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile is a comfortable, modern neck shape inspired by Martin’s Golden Era (GE) vintage designs. It has a low-profile oval back that feels relatively slim in the hand, but with slightly fuller shoulders than the standard Modified Low Oval, giving it a bit more substance and support.
This guitar has a few extra fancy upgrades from a stock 28 spec that we thought were necessary to compliment the broad figure koa such as the 45 style rosette and 45 style Snowflake inlays along with an aggressively figured matching head plate.
