Folk Guitar
An exceptional and incomparable folk guitar, even though it's been copied so many times, this guitar has been around for over 100 years and has seen its characteristics evolve, with elements specific to pre-war models combined with modern performance (especially the neck profile).
ARTICLE N° 46622
Presentation
Vintage-inspired but upgraded a few years ago, like the D-18, the redesigned 000-18 offers many of the features found in pre-war guitars. The beautifully aged 000-18 features a solid Sitka spruce top with real mahogany back and sides. The body has a tortoise binding complemented by a polished finish. The short 24.9" neck features a modified low oval with a Performing Artist neck, 1-3/4" headstock saddle gap and 2-3/16" neck string for easier playability. The open nickel tuners and Butterbean knobs coupled with the rosewood headstock clearly display the Martin Guitars affiliation, not least thanks to the large, prominent vintage Martin logo.
