Every now and then, you get to play a guitar which just blows you away. When you put this 1927 Martin 0-28K Parlor in your hands, we guarantee that’s exactly what will happen. This is true vintage: 88 years old, and still going strong. This Parlor has had some work done along the way, most recently a new bridge and plate built and installed by luthier Bill Tippin, but its still just as warm and vigorous as it always was. The all-Koa body is a great example of this wood’s characteristics: the grain is tightly quilted, the color between burnt amber and caramel, and the tone is fabulously rich and energetic. This guitar has completely opened up, and plays extraordinarily easily; definitely a fingerstylist’s wet dream. Traditional Ivoroid bindings, Herringbone and Zigzag trim, and original tuners complete the image of the fabled pre-war Martin guitar. Think of all the generations of parlor guitars that came from this design–what we have here is one of the archtypes of the model. The guitar’s got great projection and trebles which sing and a sweet middle register. This guitar comes with a TKL hardshell case.
This is the dream, folks: the genuine article: the pre-war Martin Parlor. And in Koa! Its opened up very nicely, so the tone is big, rich, and energetic. This guitar is close to one hundred years old, and is strong, healthy, and up to be making great music for a long time to come, thanks to Bill's excellent restoration skills. 
One of those "must have" guitars for players who want a vintage guitar that plays like a new one but still sounds like it's been around for 88 years. The koa on this little gem is exquisite. The guitar is light and powerful with a perfect tonal balance, | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
