Gorgeous, highly-flamed Hawaiian koa wood is used to form the back and sides of the extraordinarily beautiful Martin D-45 Koa Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar. A cherished tonewood, koa has long been revered for its unique acoustic qualities and is often used in the construction of acoustic guitars, ukuleles, and Hawaiian steel guitars. Country singer Taylor Swift is one of many world-class musicians who appreciate the deep, rich sound, extraordinary projection and natural tonal balance of koa instruments. Her favorite acoustic guitar is made of curly, flamed koa wood.Revered by wood craftsmen for its unique reddish color, highly-figured grain and exceptional beauty, koa wood is found only on the Hawaiian Islands. Koa trees, which can take up to 50 years to reach usable size, were once used by ancient Hawaiians to build intricately-carved, ocean-going dugout canoes. Decades ago when koa trees were more plentiful, islanders fashioned the wood into the world's most-prized surf boards. Today, the rare hardwood is prized by cabinet makers and woodworkers around the world for its distinctive grain and rich, reflective glow when finished. Native island luthiers introduced the beautifully balanced, clear tonal properties of koa wood to the musical world when they began carving popular ukuleles and Hawaiian steel guitars from the honey-rippled wood.
In crafting their D-45 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar from koa wood, Martin craftsmen bring "investment-grade quality, sound and performance" to this outstanding musical instrument, raves country musician Woody from Colorado. He considers his Martin D-45 Koa Acoustic Guitar "king of the hill."
