Experience the perfect blend of comfort, sound, and vintage-inspired design with the Martin 000-18 Acoustic Guitar, available exclusively at Irvine Art and Music. This beautifully crafted guitar combines a small body with big sound, making it an ideal choice for musicians seeking exceptional tone and playability.

Vintage-Inspired Design with Modern Playability

The Martin 000-18 features a distinct vintage-inspired design, updated to include many features found in Martin's pre-war era guitars. The 000-18 boasts a solid Sitka spruce top with a beautiful aging tone, paired with genuine mahogany back and sides. The body is edged with black binding and complemented by a polished finish, giving it a classic and elegant look. The neck, with its modified low oval profile and Performing Artist taper, provides comfortable playability with a width of 1-3/4” at the nut and 2-5/32” string spacing.

Comfortable Auditorium Body Style

The 000-18's Auditorium body style delivers a forward, balanced tone with excellent projection and focus. This makes it perfect for playing alongside other instruments or recording in a studio. The shorter 24.9" scale length enhances playability, making complex chord voicings easier to reach.

Premium Tonewoods for Timeless Sound

The Martin 000-18 is crafted with premium tonewoods, including a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. This combination produces a rich, timeless tone with a wide tonal range and excellent projection. The tone of the solid-wood top will age gracefully, enhancing harmonics and tonal balance over time.

Modern Features for Enhanced Playability

The 000-18 features a select hardwood neck with a modified low oval profile and Performing Artist taper, offering a modern feel and playability. The ebony fretboard is smooth and comfortable, perfect for extended playing sessions. Nickel open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs, a rosewood headplate displaying the large old-style Martin logo, and a bone string nut and compensated saddle further enhance the guitar's performance and aesthetic appeal.
