Actually "layered" wood. Veneer indicates a thin wood (possibly wood) layer laminated to some form of composite substrate, one of the reasons this little guitar sounds great...all wood.
You've got to love 000 guitars, they're a perfect balance between comfort, playability and tone. I can't say I've played any koa guitars, but loud to give this one a try.
Thank you. The review accurately assesses the instrument, and the demonstration bears this out. For someone looking at the Road series models, this supports why it is worth considering.
I use a road series 000 at church. It sounds great plugged in (with my set up) and is light and easier on the body when standing for a while, but also sounds good unplugged between sundays, unlike the smaller models, or the hybrids.
Nice playing! The black fretboard and black headstock are different. They make it look very narrow because of losing them in the background. 000 is a nice size.
I went and played one at GC. Next to it, I tried their "special" 000 Martin with solid sapele back & sides for $300-400 less (it was on sale) and was surprised at the deeper, woodier tones. But it had a 11/16" nut that I can't do. Left the store perplexed. I've already traded in a "D" Road Series that never lived up to the hype of some. I think one needs to play several to find one that satisfies in this lower price range of solid woods.
My God Martin is such an amazing company. That guitar rings like a bell and sounds so sweet. Who cares if it's Koa veneer.

I have this guitar and I really like it. Though I have had to adjust the neck multiple times over the passed two years .
Still like it?
Yes it reallyis a nice guitar for the price ! @@jakemcclurg4369
Quinton make those guitars sound so good! Thanks!
Beautiful sound ☺️
Great playing as usual, quinton always delivers a great demo
It sounds pretty thin to me....like all the sound is coming from the strings? Maybe it's just the way it sounds on this video?
no it is pretty thin. I have one and its sounds ok, then i got an OM1-GT and it sounded MUCH fuller.

@@jimmerritt1171just go get a Yamaha FS5 and call it done. Vastly superior in every way to these Martin and Taylor in this range.
@@jimmerritt1171try a Taylor 110
I wonder if it’s popular then layer with Koa
Road series are good if they are solid wood. Love my d10. But not as much as my d18.😊
Please Martin…put bigger frets on them for those of use who play a lot of single lines…
why bother just get a regular mahogany back. an ultra thin koa veneer does nothing to the sound
It does a lot to the price
Thin body and thin sound...no worth the money.
Back and sides not being real or authentic turn me
My Martin D-X2E has a spruce top and HPL back and sides. It's my "go to" guitar especially when I need to plug in for a public performance.
