Carrying a distinct vintage-inspired design and updated like the
D-18 a few years ago, the redesigned 000-18 offers many of the
features found in our pre-war era guitars. The 000-18, which has
a beautiful aging toned top in Sitka spruce, is married with
genuine mahogany back and sides. The body is edged with tortoise
binding and complemented with a polished finish. The 24.9” short
scale model’s neck features a modified low oval profile with
Performing Artist taper, with a width of 1-3/4” at the nut and
2-5/32” string spacing for easy playability. Nickel open-geared
tuners with butterbean knobs are found with a rosewood headplate,
which displays a large old style Martin logo.
