2016 Martin 000-18 Acoustic Guitar

The 2016 Martin 000-18 Acoustic Guitar offers the warmth, balance, and responsiveness that have made this classic Martin design a favorite among fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike. Featuring a Sitka spruce top with forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing and genuine mahogany back and sides, this 000-18 delivers a clear, articulate voice with a warm, woody midrange, focused bass, and excellent dynamic sensitivity. Its comfortable 000 body size and shorter 24.9" scale length provide an intimate playing feel, while the Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper offers smooth playability across the fingerboard. Traditional Style 18 appointments include faux tortoise binding, an Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette, abalone fingerboard inlays, and nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean buttons. The ebony fingerboard and bridge, aging toner top, and gloss body finish complete the understated vintage-inspired appearance. With its versatile tonal character and timeless Martin craftsmanship, this 000-18 is an excellent choice for everything from delicate fingerpicking to expressive acoustic rhythm playing.
