Martin 00-18 Standard Reimagined 2022

C.F. Martin & Co. 00-18 Standard (2022) – Mahogany Grand Concert – Excellent Condition

The Martin 00-18 is a classic grand concert guitar that has been part of Martin's lineup for more than a century. This 2022 Martin 0018 from the Standard Series pairs traditional Style 18 materials and appointments with Martin's modern, comfortable neck.

It has a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. Scalloped 1/4" X-bracing gives a lively, responsive top with impressive volume and sustain for its size. The tone is warm, dry and focused, with a strong, woody midrange, clear trebles and tight, well-defined bass. Every note comes through with excellent clarity and balance.

The compact 00 body sits comfortably on the lap and against the body, making the Martin 00 18 a joy to play at home, on the sofa, on the road or in the studio. Its clear, articulate voice is especially suited to fingerstyle, blues, folk and singer-songwriter playing. It records beautifully and sits naturally alongside vocals in a mix.

The neck has a modified low oval profile with high-performance taper, a 24.9" short scale and a 1 3/4" nut, giving a relaxed, comfortable feel for both chords and fingerpicking.

Classic Style 18 appointments include:

• an ebony fingerboard and bridge
• an Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette
• faux tortoise binding and pickguard
• a Style 18 back strip
• a rosewood headplate
• nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs
• a gloss finish with aging toner

This used Martin 00-18 is in excellent condition, with only minimal signs of use, and comes with its original Martin hardshell case. It's a great choice for anyone looking for a second-hand Martin with classic mahogany tone in a compact, inspiring package.
