Description Product Description A stunning marriage of tonewoods and pre-war era appointments and features come together for this redesigned 000-18, giving this vintage-inspired guitar an aesthetic and voice that epitomizes Martin tradition. The smaller 000 body is crafted from solid genuine mahogany and topped with a solid Sitka spruce soundboard. Paired with 1/4 Sitka spruce standard X scalloped bracing, the 000-18 yields a surprisingly big sound with potent lows and sparkling trebles. A polished gloss finish, tortoise binding, and a tortoise endpiece adorn the body while the top is also treated with aging toner and boasts an Old Style 18 rosette to cater to the 000-18's vintage character. The delmar tortoise pickguard beautifully complements the binding and endpiece. This 000-18 plays like a dream, featuring a select hardwood neck with a slightly shorter scale length of 24.9 and a comfortable modified low oval profile with an ergonomic Performing Artist taper, measuring a width of 1 3/4 at the nut and 2 3/16 string spacing. Old style 18 green abalone dot inlays grace the solid black ebony fingerboard. The square taper headstock features a solid East Indian rosewood headplate that displays a large old style Martin logo and a set of neck open-geared tuning machines with butterbean knobs. A bone nut and a 1930s style ebony belly bridge with a 16 -radius compensated drop-in bone saddle tie this traditionally-appointed Martin 000-18 Acoustic Guitar together.
