This is the only all Koa Martin Simpson model we’ve ever see. This rare beauty features premium grade, highly figured Koa for the back, sides, top and headstock. This model was a collaboration between fingerstyle master Martin Simpson and luthier Dana Bourgeois. The idea was a fingerstyle 12 fret slope D that would provide power missing in many fingerstyle instruments and also work well for strumming and flatpicking. The addition of a fallaway cutaway that grants full access to the 15th fret and generous string spacing make it an oustanding fingerstyle guitar and one of those rare designs happy to flatpick as well and it hits the mark. This one in all Koa is rare and collectible to boot.
We have never seen an all-Koa Martin Simpson model so this is a real treat, especially because this one sounds as good as it looks. We've long been a fan of the 12 fret cutaway slop D design that Dana and Martin Simpson came up with. It makes for a terrific fingerstyle guitar with real power and full bass response. The wide spaces are ideal for fingerstyle as well. The pictures show the beauty of this wood, but let's us also tell you it's premium grade in every way. Dana knows how to pick woods... 
This is a great sounding guitar. The larger body size gives it richness that is really appealing for fingerstyle player and man is it pretty... | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
