It features a solid Sitka spruce with solid genuine mahogany back and sides, scalloped "X" top bracing, and solid black ebony fingerboard with an Old Style 18 rosette and (green abalone)Boltaron fingerboard inlays. Other appointments include a modified low oval profile neck with Performance Artist taper, Grover nickel V97-18NA Sta Tite tuning machines, a 1930s style belly with drop-in saddle bridge style, a Delmar Tortoise pickguard, and dovetail neck joint.With modern performance and playability, the 000-18E Retro offers the visual and tonal integrity of the mahogany auditorium guitars of the pre-war era.Includes 433 hardshell case.FEATURESConstruction: Mahogany Blocks/Dovetail Neck JointBody size: 000-14 FretTop: Soild SItka spruceRosette: Old Style 18Top Bracing Pattern: Standard "X" ScallopedTop Braces: Solid Sitka spruce 1/4"Back Material: Solid genuine mahoganyBack Purfling: Style 18Side Material: Solid genuine mahoganyBinding: Tortoise brownTop Inlay Style: Multiple Black/White BoltaronNeck Material: Select HardwoodNeck Shape: Modified Low Oval Profile with Performing Artist TaperNut Material: BoneHeadstock: Solid/Square TaperHeadplate: Solid East Indiean rosewoodHeelcap: Solid black ebonyFingerboard Material: Soild black ebonyScale Length: 24.9"# of Frets: 20 (14 clear)Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1-3/4"Fingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2-1/8"Fingerboard Position Inlays: Old Style 18 - green abaloneFinish Back & Sides: Polished GlossFinish Top: Polished Gloss with Aging TonerFinish Neck: SatinBridge Material: Solid black ebonyBridge Style: 1930s style belly with drop-in saddleBridge String Spacing: 2-3/16"Saddle: 16" radius/compensated/white tusqTuning Machines: Grover Nickel V97-18NA Sta TiteRecommended Strings: Martin SP Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Light Gauge (MSP7100)Bridge & End Pins: Black with white inlayPickguard: Delmar Tortoise colorCase: 433 HardshellElectronics: Fishman F1 Aura PlusOrder this beautiful Martin today!
