Description
Martin 00-18 (2025), Ebony Fingerboard, Natural (Aging Toner)
~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~
We are excited to offer the just released 2025 Martin 18 Series. These models harken back to the classic models of the 30s and 40s, providing some of the most sought after and most recorded tones in history.
As part of the newly refreshed Standard series, the 18 series models include Golden Era Top Braces, the Authentic Fingerboard Thickness (thinner) with gently beveled comfort edge, sleeker vintage-style heel, Golden Era Modern Belly Bridge with Ebony Bridge Pins and the Nut is placed on the angle of the headstock.
The new for 2025 00-18 provides historic Martin tone with the incredibly high-quality design of the Standard Series. The all-solid design offers the lush and sweet Martin tones that we all love with a full bottom-end and highs that are full of life.
Players seeking the most refined fingerstyle, songwriter or blues guitar have found their home! This small-bodied masterpiece is hyper responsive and full of tone!
Players will immediately experience the full tone that is delivered from this instrument with light attack. The 00 body is super-charged with the Golden Era bracing–allowing the Solid Spruce top to deliver the biggest tone possible while remaining defined. The Mahogany back provides an even bass to treble playing experience so players will never feel muddy on the bass or too glassy on the trebles.
Players will receive a higher than expected ceiling that will allow for songwriters to benefit with the ability to fill a room full of vintage-inspired tones.
Players looking for a classic Martin tone delivered by prolific tonewoods can trust the 00-18 will deliver a world-class experience.
We are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Martin Guitar. Our world-class techs will dial in your guitar to make sure the playability is maximized on your new Martin!
