{"product_id":"martin-limited-edition-oahu-k-52-hibiscus","title":"Martin Limited Edition O'ahu K-42 Hibiscus","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Interstellar Tone Traveler has long held Martin's Custom Shop in particular esteem, but even by those standards the O'ahu K-42 Hibiscus is something genuinely apart. One hundred of these exist in the world — each one built around a design innovation that Martin has never attempted before: a K-sized 12-fret body paired with a 14-fret neck. That combination sounds simple on paper and is anything but in practice, capturing the deep, room-filling projection and low-end authority that made 12-fret body guitars the architects of the Dreadnought's DNA, while the 14-fret neck join opens up the upper register and brings modern playability into an instrument built on pre-war acoustics. The top is reclaimed Sitka Spruce that Martin has touched exactly once before in the company's entire history, finished in a Dark Toasted Burst that gives it the look of something that has already lived a full life — and the broad-flamed figured Koa back and sides bring the warmth and shimmer of the Hawaiian wood tradition into conversation with that weathered, storied top. Ornate hibiscus inlays trace across the ebony fingerboard in a tribute to the islands that give the O'ahu series its name and its soul, and Style 45 purfling, abalone rosette, Madagascar Rosewood binding, and a faux tortoise pickguard establish this unambiguously as a guitar built at the highest level of the luthier's craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eUnderneath that visual richness is a construction pedigree that matches it in every detail. Golden Era scalloped Adirondack Spruce bracing with VTS thermal treatment — pre-aged at the cellular level to simulate decades of tonal development — sits beneath that reclaimed top on a traditional X-brace pattern, creating an acoustic engine built to open up and deepen over years of playing. A genuine mahogany neck in the GE Modified Low Oval profile with High-Performance Taper is fitted with 20 frets on a 1 3\/4\" ebony board, and the Waverly Gold tuners with Liquidmetal posts and abalone dot butterbean buttons represent the finest off-the-shelf hardware available to any acoustic builder. Liquidmetal bridge pins with abalone dots, an ebony Modern Belly Pyramid bridge with drop-in bone saddle, dovetail neck joint — Martin's most time-honored construction methods, executed with Custom Shop precision and dressed in Hawaii's most iconic flower. One of one hundred.
