000-18 – A Classic Martin Guitar
The Martin 000-18 is a classic acoustic guitar from Martin and is one that many guitarists aspire to own.
The 000 part of the name or ‘Triple O’ as it is spoken, refers to the size of the guitar – this means it is smaller than what you can expect from a D style, or dreadnaught acoustic guitar.
This means that many guitarists will find it a lot more comfortable to hold and it also allows for a lot more articulation and intricate playing to come across in your sound.
Crafting a Classic
The fantastic combination of woods solid Sitka spruce top and genuine Mahogany back and sides lends it the 000-18 a nicely bright, rich tone with great articulation.
Joining the body of the Martin OOO-18 through use of a dovetail neck joint, a modified low oval neck with Performing Artist Taper, or High Performance Taper as Martin now refer to it. This special taper makes for an enhanced playing experience and a more comfortable feel.
The neck also has a nice and smooth satin finish to it so you’ll find the Martin 000-18 an absolute joy to play.
Martin’s 000-18 also sports a shorter scale length at 24.9” which means you can get that bit of extra bend on your strings which works perfectly for styles such as blues where bending the strings is key to your performance.
