The Martin O’ahu® K-42 Hibiscus takes inspiration from the historic Kealakai body and reimagines it with modern innovation. Featuring a K-sized 12-fret body fitted with a 14-fret neck—an unprecedented first for Martin—it delivers extra projection and clarity while keeping the deep, powerful voice that shaped the Dreadnought’s origins. Crafted with striking broad-flamed koa back and sides, a reclaimed spruce top—used only once before in Martin's history—in a dark toasted burst, and adorned with ornate hibiscus inlays, it’s as visually captivating as it is sonically rich. Style 42 details, Madagascar rosewood binding, and Waverly® tuners with Liquidmetal® posts add luxury and performance. Limited to just 100 guitars, the K-42 Hibiscus is the newest member of the Martin O'ahu family—an instrument where heritage and artistry meet.
