A good addition that comes to fill a lack in the series 18: this new model with particularly small dimensions that could be compared to a parlor, even if the form is not strictly identical. The 0-18 offers a Sitka spruce top, a mahogany back and sides that serve as the basis for this concert-size beauty. The combination of a short 24.9 "tuning fork with a flattened oval handle allows for fast play. Nickel open-ended gears, bronze-phosphorous strings, a touch and an ebony bridge complete the look of this Classical guitar.
