Presentation
The Martin & Co 00-18 is a Grand Concert acoustic folk guitar, perfect for players looking for a combination of comfort and tone. Thanks to its 00 format, it offers a pleasant grip, especially for those who prefer more subtle playing techniques such as fingerpicking. With its 632 mm scale, it is more compact than a classic dreadnought, while retaining an appreciable sound power, particularly in folk-blues.
The construction of the 00-18 leaves nothing to chance: the solid Sitka spruce top, combined with a notched X-bracing, guarantees a rich resonance and a dynamic response. The solid mahogany back and sides provide a warmth and depth that acoustic guitar fans will appreciate. This subtle blend of spruce and mahogany gives the instrument a balanced sound, with deep bass and well-defined treble.
The ebony bridge and fingerboard are key elements of this guitar. Ebony, known for its strength and durability, gives the instrument not only a beautiful appearance, but also great playing precision. The “Modified Low Oval” neck profile, meanwhile, is designed to offer smooth playability, whether you are a regular barre player or a virtuoso picker.
Aesthetically, the Martin 00-18 focuses on elegant sobriety: a glossy natural finish, a matching tortoise pickguard and details such as the Old Style 18 rosette. Delivered with a hardshell case, this guitar is not only a beautiful object, it is also an instrument ready to travel with you and offer you performances worthy of the know-how of Martin & Co.
