Martin D-50 Koa Deluxe

MARTIN D50 Details

Model S“Style 50” represents the highest level of ornamentation and elegance in the Martin line. The first D-50 Deluxe was constructed with Brazilian rosewood back and sides and introduced in 2001. Following on the success of that project, Martin is proud to introduce a second iteration of this special style. The D-50 Koa Deluxe Limited Edition is constructed with Hawaiian koa back and sides, and like its predecessor, limited to no more than 50 special guitars, each individually numbered and personally signed by Martin Chairman and CEO, C. F. Martin IV.
