The sloped shoulder HG body shape gives it a softer, more rounded response, while the spruce and koa pairing brings in a really interesting balance of warmth, clarity, and sparkle. Visually, the gloss koa back and sides, bold herringbone trim, and vintage-inspired O'ahu script logo give it a strong nod to Martin’s historical Hawaiian-style instruments without feeling like a reissue piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"945\"\u003eThere is a smoothness to the sound that stands out immediately. The spruce top keeps the attack clear and responsive, while the koa body adds a dry, woody character with a bit of natural shimmer on the high end. Compared to rosewood, koa tends to stay more focused and controlled, which works really well with the HG body shape. Chords feel open and balanced, and single notes carry nicely without getting overly sharp or compressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"947\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003eThe shorter 24.9 inch scale gives the guitar a relaxed, easy feel under the hands, and the GE Modified Low Oval neck with high-performance taper keeps things comfortable whether you are strumming or fingerpicking. The ebony fingerboard and bridge add a clean, articulate response, while the scalloped bracing helps the guitar stay lively and responsive. This is a really distinctive Martin that blends vintage-inspired character with a balanced, modern playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"332\" data-end=\"868\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003e\u003cem data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003eSPECS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights: HG 14 Fret Body Size\u003cbr\u003eBack And Sides: Koa\u003cbr\u003eTop: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: GE Modified Low Oval With High Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell Case\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Strings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 Phosphor Bronze Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eTop Color: Clear\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBridge Style: Modern Straightline Drop In Saddle\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 2 5\/32\"\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Material: White Plastic\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Dots: Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Tortoise Pattern\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Style 28 Multi Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Radius: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Size: HG 14 Fret\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: Koa\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: Koa\u003cbr\u003eBack And Side Finish: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBack And Sides Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003eBack Purfling Strip: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: Multi Stripe\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: X Brace\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece: Antique White\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece Inlay: Multi Stripe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Shape: GE Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: High Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Select Hardwood\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Natural\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24.9\"\u003cbr\u003eNumber Of Frets Total: 20\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width At Nut: 1 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width At 12th Fret: 2 1\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: Old Style 18\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Yellow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock Shape: Solid With Square Taper And Diamond\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Martin O'ahu Script Overlay\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Nickel Open Gear\u003cbr\u003eTuner Knob Style: Butterbean\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Paper Label With Model Name And Pre Printed CFM IV Signature\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"332\" data-end=\"868\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-stringify-type=\"bold\"\u003e\u003cem data-stringify-type=\"italic\"\u003eWhy Choose The Acoustic Shoppe?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eWhen you choose to purchase from us, you're not just making a transaction; you're investing in an exceptional experience.
