Flame Koa and Adirondack spruce: an amazing combination of tonewoods
You'll immediately see that the Martin DCPA Koa LTD is a special guitar, with highly-flamed Hawaiian koa back and sides. To match both the look and sound of this exotic wood, Martin paired it with an expressive solid Adirondack spruce top, which gives you complex and truly melodic overtones. The definition and liveliness of spruce is the perfect match for the mellow, round tones of koa. But even if you never play it (gasp!), the DCPA Koa LTD is truly a sight to behold.

Super-comfortable Performing Artist neck profile
The DCPA Koa LTD features one of Martin's amazing Performing Artist series necks, whose slimmer profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to play extended sessions in comfort. The neck is solid mahogany, chosen as much for its striking appearance as its rich tone and ample sustain.

Onboard Fishman electronics
Martin added an onboard Fishman electronics system to the DCPA Koa LTD acoustic-electric guitar so that you'll be sure to get great plugged-in tone. The Fishman F1 Aura Plus electronics system is easy to use, has a built-in tuner, and it does a fantastic job capturing every nuance of your performance. You'll love the amplified tone of your Martin DCPA Koa LTD!
