Drop us a message!Vintage Soul, Modern FireThe Martin 000-18 Modern Deluxe is where timeless acoustic tone meets cutting-edge innovation. It's a guitar that feels like a perfectly broken-in vintage instrument from the first strum, yet it's packed with modern features that elevate the playing experience. Martin pairs a VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) Sitka Spruce top with genuine mahogany back and sides, delivering that dry, woody, and incredibly responsive voice that defines the iconic Style 18 sound. But this isn't just a history lesson; this guitar is built for today's player.The Modern Deluxe DifferenceSo, what makes it "Modern Deluxe"? It's the details that you feel and hear. The top is supported by VTS Adirondack spruce Golden Era scalloped bracing, which is bonded with natural protein glue, a combination that maximizes resonance and sustain for a truly lively response. Under the hood, a carbon fiber bridge plate and Liquidmetal® bridge pins add a noticeable boost in volume and projection without adding weight. It’s louder, richer, and more dynamic than its predecessors.Unmatched PlayabilityFrom the moment you pick it up, the 000-18 Modern Deluxe just feels *right*. The Vintage Deluxe neck profile has a slight, asymmetrical shape that fits the hand perfectly, while the High-Performance Taper keeps things fast and comfortable all the way up the ebony fingerboard. Add in the gold EVO frets, which are harder and smoother than standard frets—and you have a buttery, effortless playing feel that makes complex chords and single-note runs a joy. This is a guitar that invites you to play for hours.Elegant AppointmentsThis guitar is a feast for the eyes, too. The body is bound in East Indian Rosewood, a stunning upgrade that frames the instrument beautifully. The headstock features a stylized script inlay in abalone, a nod to early Martin designs, and the gold open-gear Waverly tuners provide smooth, reliable tuning with a classic look. From the abalone side dots to the Old Style 18 rosette, every detail is thoughtfully executed, making this a true heirloom-quality instrument.Key reasons why your next instrument should come from Moore Guitars:- Moore Guitars is a Top 300 Seller by Reverb and a Top 100 Music Retailer by NAMM!
