Up for sale, a 2024 Martin Custom Shop 000-18 in mint condition, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags.This stunning Martin Custom Shop 000-18 boasts premium custom features including a certified High Altitude Swiss spruce top with 1/4“ hand-scalloped Adirondack spruce X-bracing, and a Modified Low Oval neck profile with a 12th fret joint and slotted headstock.
Favored by titans like Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and Elvis Presley, the 000-18 is a no-frills tone machine. The sound is exceedingly balanced, clear and sweet-sounding with equal presence afforded each string. Notes are crisp and immediate: projection is ample, and the low end is defined yet relaxed. The trebles have a certain dry airiness and are quite round-sounding for single note lines. The 000 body shape is sympathetic to fingerpicking, and the body's tonewoods and overarching voicing offer a versatility for a broad range of genres and gigging/recording scenarios. Weighing 4lbs, this Custom Shop 000-18 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
