Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive 00 18 Style Adirondack/Quilted Mahogany (915)

A Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive 00 18 Style that combines the intimate responsiveness of a Grand Concert body with premium Adirondack spruce and stunning quilted mahogany back and sides. Inspired by the timeless 00-18, this Custom Shop build elevates the classic formula with upgraded tonewoods, Golden Era scalloped bracing, and vintage-inspired appointments. The result is a highly responsive instrument with exceptional clarity, warmth, and visual character.

The Adirondack spruce top provides remarkable headroom and dynamic range, while the premium quilted mahogany back and sides add a striking visual dimension rarely seen on traditional Style 18 instruments. Golden Era scalloped Adirondack bracing enhances responsiveness and openness, allowing the guitar to excel in fingerstyle, flatpicking, and recording applications. A Modified V Modern 30's Style neck paired with Martin's High Performance Taper offers a comfortable blend of vintage feel and modern playability.

Finished with an aging toner top, gloss body, satin neck, and faux tortoise appointments, this Willcutt Exclusive captures the spirit of a pre-war Martin while showcasing the artistry of the Custom Shop.
