Martin Custom Shop Dreadnought 41 Style Adirondack / Figured Koa
Overview
This Martin Custom Shop dreadnought brings together premium Adirondack spruce and exceptionally figured koa in a high-end 41-style inspired build. The Adirondack top offers strong headroom and quick response, while the koa back and sides provide a focused low end with a clear, articulate midrange and a touch of natural compression. The result is a balanced, dynamic voice that responds well to both heavy strumming and more nuanced playing.
Scalloped Adirondack bracing keeps the top lively and responsive, while the dreadnought body delivers the projection and presence expected from this platform. Visually, this build leans into a more refined aesthetic with Style 45 rosette details and custom torch inlays across the fingerboard, bridge, and headplate. It’s a Custom Shop piece that blends traditional Martin tone with upgraded materials and detailed appointments.
