Martin 000-18 Acoustic Guitar
The Martin 000-18 is an iconic acoustic, trusted by generations of players for its balanced tone and legendary craftsmanship. Its Auditorium body size delivers a rich, even voice with perfect balance across all six strings, making it ideal for everything from intricate fingerstyle to strumming full-bodied chords. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the 000-18 offers a bright treble response, punchy midrange, and impressive projection—all in a classic, comfortable design. The satin neck with a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 24.9" scale length ensures unmatched playability. Elegant ebony details, including the bridge, bridge pins, and fingerboard with abalone dot inlays, enhance its timeless design. Complete with aging toner on its top, black binding, and nickel open gear tuners, the 000-18 is a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.
Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case.
