Description
The Martin Custom Shop All Flamed Koa Grand Performance acoustic-electric guitar lets you craft rich, resonant tone with premium tonewoods. Its figured koa back and sides generate balanced warmth and clarity, complementing the solid spruce top's bright articulation. The modified low oval neck's satin finish and 1.75" nut provide comfortable playability. L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics convey the All Flamed Koa's natural acoustic voice with studio-quality detail.
Premium Tonewoods Shape Signature Tone
As a guitarist, you appreciate how wood selection influences an instrument's voice. The All Flamed Koa's figured koa back and sides produce midrange warmth and crisp treble, blending beautifully with the solid spruce top's articulate highs. Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing optimizes resonance and projection. The modern belly bridge's compensated bone saddle transfers string energy straight into the soundboard. Overall, these premium tonewoods shape the All Flamed Koa's balanced, shimmering tone with piano-like bass, rich midrange and bell-clear treble.
Modified Low Oval Neck Provides Comfortable Playability
The All Flamed Koa's modified low oval neck profile feels familiar and fast under your fingers. Its slim taper and 1.75" nut facilitate complex chording and lead playing. The satin finish reduces friction as your hand glides along the fingerboard, while 20 hand-shaped frets offer precision intonation at the first position and above. Whether you play rhythm, lead or a mix of both, the All Flamed Koa's neck provides hours of comfortable playability.
L.R. Baggs Anthem System Captures Natural Acoustic Sound
The All Flamed Koa comes equipped with L.R. Baggs' Anthem pickup system, renowned for conveying acoustic guitars' organic tone. An undersaddle transducer captures the soundboard's vibration, while an internal microphone picks up the resonating body. Blend the two signals to achieve a balanced studio-quality acoustic voice with natural depth and crisp high-end. The Anthem's preamp includes volume, notch, bass, mid and treble controls for crafting your perfect tone before sending it to an amplifier or PA. Whether recording or performing, the Anthem system authentically amplifies the All Flamed Koa's acoustic voice.
