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 2-3/16” 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.
