Martin 00-18 2025 Standard Series Acoustic Guitar

Weight: 3.8 lbs

DESCRIPTION

The Martin 00-18 is a trusted classic, beloved for its balanced and timeless tone. Its smaller, comfortable Grand Concert body size delivers a focused voice, with clear trebles and warm bass, making it perfect for intricate fingerstyle playing and dynamic, nuanced strumming. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the 00-18 offers a bright treble response, punchy midrange, and the dependable projection players have relied on for generations. Its satin neck with a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 24.9" scale length provides unmatched comfort, while ebony details, including the bridge, bridge pins, and fingerboard with abalone dot inlays, enhance its iconic design. Complete with aging toner on its top, black binding, and nickel open gear tuners, the 00-18 is a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within. 

Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED

After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
