Gently used 000-18 from luthier Matthew Arcara just in on trade! This is a guitar built in the style of the one Matt made for himself: it's a 12-fret 000, with a thick pyramid bridge capable of handling medium gauge strings (we've got it strung with lights, and would recommend sticking with them unless you're playing tuned down). Reason being, the guitar sounds wonderful as-is and simply doesn't need anything more unless DADGAD is where you live. Overall condition is very good, though it's been played and has a very thin finish so you'll see some errant pick marks here and there. Priced with hardshell case, this is one of the best options in the shop for a small-bodied guitar that delivers power and depth of tone.
