Instrument Categories: Acoustic Steel String, Guitars, SOLD
The C. F. Martin 000-18 is an extremely versatile, great sounding guitar with a smaller body and shorter scale length than the classic D-body Dreadnoughts. As an ’18’ level model, Mahogany is used for the back, sides and neck, with Sitka Spruce for the top and Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. The 000-18 is well known for its even, well represented tone, excellent for both strumming and fingerstyle.
This example dates to 2015 and is in good condition. It has just had a setup in our shop, and received a warranty neck reset so that task, which virtually all steel strings eventually require, should not be required again for many years.
The original hard shell case is included.
Here is how the C. F. Martin company describes the C. F. Martin 000-18:
“Carrying a distinct vintage-inspired design and updated like the D-18 a few years ago, the redesigned 000-18 offers many of the features found in our pre-war era guitars. The 000-18, which has a beautiful aging toned top in Sitka spruce, is married with genuine mahogany back and sides. The body is edged with tortoise binding and complemented with a polished finish.
The 24.9 inch short scale model’s neck features a modified low oval profile with Performing Artist taper, with a width of 1-3/4 inch at the nut and 2-3/16 inch string spacing for easy playability. Nickel open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs are found with a rosewood headplate, which displays a large old style Martin logo.”
