{"product_id":"martin-k-1-major-kealakai-guitar-left","title":"Martin K-1 Major Kealakai Acoustic Guitar w\/ Hardshell Case, Left-Handed - Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eHawaiian musician Major Kealakai, and his custom Martin guitar, helped shape the course of music history. Kealakai was a guitarist and conductor of the Royal Hawaiian Band, and in 1916, Martin made him a unique custom guitar that was wider, deeper, and longer than a 000 to provide more volume and help fill concert halls. That one-off guitar was the precursor to the iconic Dreadnought. Now, Martin is honoring that historic milestone with a new take on his custom 12-fret guitar with a refreshed bridge design to better complement the traditional specifications, as if the company continued to produce it well past 1916. The Custom K-1 Major Kealakai features vintage gloss sinker mahagony back and sides, an Adirondack spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top, hide glue construction, authentic 1931 X bracing, and a modern, embellished ebony pyramid belly bridge. It blends tradition and innovation, paying tribute to the rich heritage of Martin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Size: K-12 Fret\u003cbr\u003eFinish Top: Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue Construction\u003cbr\u003eBack and Side Finish: Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: Authentic 1931 X Brace\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 7\/8''\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Adirondack Spruce with VTS\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Authentic 1931\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: Sinker Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: Standard Taper\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: Sinker Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTop Color: Clear\u003cbr\u003eBridge Style: Modern Stauffer Pyamid - Drop in Saddle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 2 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTop Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: None\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Dots: Abalone\u003cbr\u003ePickguard Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Radius: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBrace Material: Adirondack Spruce with VTS\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Color: Light Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eBack Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eSide Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece Inlay: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNeck Material: Genuine Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFinish Neck: Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Light Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: 18 Old Style Authentic 1931\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 19\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 12th Fret\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Grained Ivoroid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eHeadstock Shape: Slotted with Round Slots, 1931 Taper and Diamond\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Golden Age Relic Nickel Side Mount\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eKnob: Cream\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Stamped on Back of Headstock\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Binding Material: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMisc\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCase: Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eLeft-handed Availability: true\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46551433052397,"sku":"10CMK1L","price":11519.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/files\/ssgtdbjmclaj7ljnsftg.png?v=1737145724","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/martin-k-1-major-kealakai-guitar-left","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
