Martin X Series Koa Special Concert Acoustic Guitar - Natural Koa Reviews
The Koa Special Concert acoustic guitar brings a touch of figured-koa-patterned elegance to Martin’s ultra-durable X series. This guitar’s concert-sized body is constructed with cutting-edge HPL (High-Pressure Laminate), a composite material that’s extraordinarily stable, resisting the temperature- and humidity-induced changes that can so often be a challenge when playing traditional wood guitars in challenging environments. The X series Koa Special Concert’s HPL body is then covered with beautiful koa-patterned HPL, granting you the best of classic Martin looks and modern guitar-building innovation. A natural birch laminate neck topped with a slab of composite richlite mirrors the new-meets-old foundation set by the body, with a fast-playing High-Performance Taper profile. And while the Martin X series Koa Special Concert’s construction diverts far from the old-school Martin course, this guitar’s compact concert-sized body delivers the same clear, balanced tone that you’d expect to find on any traditionally built small-bodied Martin.

More than I expected
I wanted a parlor sized guitar to keep out in our sunroom to be able to leave out and pick up any time to play. Criteria: Needed to be more impervious to temp and humidity fluctuations and I didn't want to break the bank. I already own a few solid wood acoustics (including another Martin) so this was to be more of a specialty type instrument. Researched for what seemed like forever. Then I saw this Martin on Sweetwater. Being a high pressure laminate instrument I knew it would do fine in our sunroom. Liked the look. Liked the price. So took a chance and ordered. I have played and listened to laminate guitars before so I expected something like that sound. What I didn't expect was for it to sound very close tonally to a solid wood instrument. I have been VERY pleased with this instrument. Built well. Sounds great. Being a small bodied guitar it's easy to play. Very happy with this purchase.
