Description

The 000 models are among the most versatile and comfortable guitars Martin has ever produced, and the 000-18 series, with its mahogany back and sides, is particularly revered for its rich, balanced tone. Mahogany's dry, woody warmth shines through, making these guitars audibly pleasing across the tonal spectrum.

This specific 000-18 has undergone a series of essential repairs, breathing new life into a well-loved instrument. It has been refinished in poly and received a new nut, a refret, and a neck reset. Additional work includes a replaced pickguard, new saddle, replaced bridge pins, a bridge re-glue, and several crack repairs. Notable fixes include a cleated crack in the rosette on the treble side near the fingerboard extension, a cleated top crack on the bass side lower bout, and a glued top crack on the bass side lower bout. Two back cracks on the bass side lower bout were also repaired with four cleats, and a patched hole can be seen on the treble side rim.

Despite these repairs, this guitar plays beautifully, with low action and a dry, warm, and rich tone that maintains its signature Martin sound. Comes with a non-original hardshell case.
