Martin 00-18 Acoustic Guitar - Natural

The classic Grand Concert model has been updated and modernized for today's player. This beautiful instrument is built on a foundation of a spruce top and mahogany back and sides. With a modified low oval high-performance neck and East Indian rosewood headplate, the Martin 00-18 feels comfortable and familiar. A beautiful ebony fingerboard and bridge complete the package, making this a guitar you will cherish for years to come.

Mahogany, used for the back and sides, is often described as having a woody, dry, and balanced tone. It is known for its strong fundamental notes and clear, direct sound. Paired with a spruce top, which is known for being stiff and hard with a clear, ringing tone, this guitar produces a powerful sound that is clear and well-defined. The ebony fretboard is dense and fine-grained, contributing to the guitar's excellent sustain and articulate sound.
