Martin 000-18 Modern Deluxe Acoustic Guitar

The Martin 000-18 Modern Deluxe combines the timeless tonal character of a spruce-and-mahogany 000 with a selection of modern performance and premium appointments. Its solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides deliver a balanced, articulate voice with warm lows, punchy mids, and clear highs, while the comfortable 000-14 Fret body makes it especially versatile for fingerstyle, flatpicking, strumming, and recording.

The 000-18 Modern Deluxe features Martin's Vintage Deluxe scalloped X-bracing with Golden Era-style forward-shifted positioning, giving the spruce top enhanced responsiveness, projection, sustain, and harmonic complexity. A 24.9-inch short scale, Modified Low Oval neck profile, High-Performance Taper, and 1 3/4-inch nut width provide a comfortable playing experience with excellent fingerboard access.

Premium Modern Deluxe appointments include a European flamed maple neck, titanium truss rod, liquidmetal bridge pins with abalone inlays, and a gold-colored open-gear tuning machine set. The guitar also features a gloss finish, aging toner on the spruce top, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, and a vintage-style faux tortoise pickguard. It comes with a molded hardshell case.
