Vintage Soul, Modern Feel

This isn't just another 000-18. This is a Custom Shop creation that speaks directly to the player who craves that golden-era Martin voice but demands modern playability. At its heart is a premium Adirondack spruce top, the holy grail of top woods, known for its explosive projection and incredible headroom. Paired with a classic mahogany body, you get a tone that's dry, woody, and exceptionally balanced, with a midrange focus that records like an absolute dream. It's articulate for delicate fingerstyle but has the power to cut through when you dig in.

The Engine: Adirondack & GE Bracing

Real talk, the top is where the magic happens. Adirondack spruce gives this 000 a dynamic range that's simply inspiring. It whispers with nuance and roars when you drive it hard, all without losing a bit of clarity. Under the hood, the hand-shaped, scalloped Golden Era bracing is the perfect complement, allowing the top to breathe and resonate freely. This combination delivers that coveted, open character of a well-loved vintage instrument from the very first strum.

Effortless Playability

The 000-14 fret body is the sweet spot for comfort and versatility, and the shorter 24.9" scale length makes this guitar a joy to play. Bends are buttery, and long sessions feel effortless. Martin's Custom Shop team selected a GE Modified Low Oval neck profile with a High Performance Taper, a mouthful that translates to a sublimely comfortable neck. It has a classic, vintage-inspired feel that still provides a smooth, fast ride for any playing style, finished in satin for a broken-in feel right out of the case.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
