Product Description
The Martin 000-18 is a beautiful acoustic guitar that harks back to Martin's pre-war instruments with its elegant 000 body shape, Old 18 style rosette, and vintage styling. Featuring the classic Martin construction of Spruce top combined with solid Mahogany back and sides, expect a tone that’s wonderfully rounded and warm with enough spring and brightness from the spruce to give you all the definition you could want.
Over 185 years, Martin's original and most discernible models have largely remained intact and unchanged, demonstrating the winning formula that they established almost two centuries ago. For 2025, they’ve introduced a sweeping wave of updates to elevate the sound, playability, and aesthetics of these cornerstone guitars, from Golden Era bracing to subtle neck & heel improvements.
Auditorium body shape
An Auditorium body style gives the 000-18 a great, warm, balanced tone. This body style gives you excellent projection and focus, perfect for recording in your studio. The body feels comfortable and is finished to an incredibly high standard that looks amazing.
Modern Feeling Neck
The 000-18 has a GE low-oval neck profile with the Performing Artist taper. Its slim profile is easy on your hand, allowing you to comfortably play for longer. The shorter 24.9" scale length makes complex chords easier to play and the smooth ebony fretboard sounds great and feels comfy to play.
Classic Wood construction
Classic Martin guitars use a combination of Spruce tops and solid Mahogany backs and sides to create enchanting tones. You'll find this tonewood combination on the Martin 000-18. Solid Spruce has a wide tonal range with great projection and with a solid-wood top, the tone of your 000-18 will age really well, with enhanced harmonics and even more incredible tone as it ages.
Golden Era Design
The 000-14 Fret body features Martin's Golden Era (GE) scalloped X bracing, giving the 000-18 richly enhanced sustain and a robust structure that'll last a lifetime. Enjoy a more comfortable playing experience with the modernised GE bridge, boasting smoother curves and subtler edges. A thinner fingerboard with beveled edges and a sleeker vintage heel are the cherries on top, offering subtle aesthetic enhancements without taking away from the 000-18’s vintage roots.
Please note: the images on this listing are of the previous Martin Standard Series releases, so there may be subtle aesthetic differences to the 2025 models. New photographs coming soon!Specifications
