Martin 000-18 (2000) – Auditorium Acoustic Guitar, Good Condition
This Martin 000-18 (2000) delivers the classic Auditorium sound and playability that has made the 000 series a favorite among fingerstyle players and singer-songwriters. The guitar shows some dents and scratches from use, but it remains in good overall condition with no cracks, no repairs, and excellent playability.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this 000-18 produces a warm, balanced tone with clear articulation. Unlike the modern Reimagined version, this 2000 model features non-scalloped X-bracing, giving it a slightly tighter, more focused sound with strong projection.
