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 \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \n-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e                                                                                                                                                                  -Shape: Modified Low Oval, measuring .820” 1st fret, .915” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e \n-Fretboard: Ebony, Select abalone Old Style 18 dot inlays\u003cbr\u003e       \n-Frets: Slender, pristine\u003cbr\u003e \n-Scale Length: 24.9”\u003cbr\u003e \n-Nut: 1 3\/4”, bone\u003cbr\u003e \n-Headstock: Slotted (round slots)\u003cbr\u003e \n-Tuners: Waverly open-gear, butterbean buttons\u003cbr\u003e \n-Serialization: Stamp on neck block dates to 2024\u003cbr\u003e \n-Factory Markings: “Custom Shop” stamp\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \n-Wood: Certified High Altitude Swiss Spruce, Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \n-Bracing: X, 1\/4“, hand-scalloped (Adirondack Spruce)\u003cbr\u003e \n-Bridge: Ebony Modern Belly, compensated bone saddle\u003cbr\u003e \n-Pickguard: Tortoise\u003cbr\u003e \n-Marquetry: Black Boltaron binding, Old Style 18 rosette\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe top features Martin’s Aging Toner, and while technically a “used” instrument, there’s barely a scratch on the gloss lacquer finish.
