Martin hasn't had a 000-18 with Authentic features in their lineup for more than ten years; and we're excited to offer these instruments in our showroom and online.
The Martin Custom Shop 000-18 1937 - a long-awaited return of the 18-style guitar with Authentic Series build quality and modern player sensibility.Inspired by the success of the Style-28 Custom Shop Authentics, Martin brings this 000-18 to life with the same vintage construction approach - hide glue, scalloped bracing, and that dry, articulate tone - but with the practical addition of an adjustable truss rod. It’s been over a decade since Martin offered a 000-18 with Authentic specs, and honestly? We’re wondering what took so long. This guitar is open, warm, and wildly responsive - especially up the neck - with that woody clarity that makes 18-style guitars such workhorses in the hands of serious players.
Already a shop favorite here at TME, and priced with a Harptone hardshell case. Come try one, but be warned: you're going to want to take it home.
Condition: Brand New. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
