As one of only a small number of Martin Custom Expert Dealers, we've spent years designing custom guitars that enhance the playing experience without losing sight of what makes a great Martin special. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar was designed for players who love the sound and feel of a 000-18 but prefer the comfort of a traditional 1 11\/16\" nut width. It delivers a familiar and effortless playing experience while preserving the balance, articulation, and versatility that have made the 000-18 a favorite among fingerstyle players, flatpickers, and singer-songwriters alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the neck, we've enhanced the guitar's responsiveness with a thin Authentic-thickness top and hand-scalloped Golden Era bracing—features that players have consistently gravitated toward in our Custom Shop designs. Together, these upgrades help the instrument respond more quickly to a lighter touch while producing greater openness, dynamic range, and harmonic complexity. The guitar retains the clear, focused voice, strong fundamentals, and woody character of a traditional 000-18 while offering a livelier, more responsive, and more expressive playing experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleting the build is a premium 5-ply Geib-style hardshell case, providing superior protection and a classic vintage-inspired presentation worthy of a Custom Shop instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSerial #: 3059938\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFingerboard Material: Black Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBinding Material: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBracing: Golden Era w\/Hand Shaping, Spruce, Scalloped, 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBridge Pins: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBridge Material: Black Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBridge Style: Golden Era Modern Belly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAdhesive: Modern Adhesive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eElectronics: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFingerboard Inlay: Old Style 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNut Width: 1 11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFinish Package: Gloss Body w\/ Satin Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHeadplate Decal: Old Style Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNeck Profile: Golden Era Modified Low Oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNeck Taper: Standard Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eRosette Style: Old Style 18 Boltaron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eScale Length: 24.9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTop Color: Aging Toner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Martin Guitar.
