Frequently Asked Questions
A solid Koa top vibrates more freely, resulting in a richer, more complex tone with greater sustain and projection than a laminate top.
The selected hardwood neck has a comfortable 'C' shape profile that should suit a wide range of hand sizes, although it’s not particularly wide or chunky.
The T1K stands out due to its all-Koa construction and Martin's reputation for quality; it offers a higher level of craftsmanship and tone than many similarly priced alternatives.
