C.F. Martin & Co. 0-18 Standard (2018) – Mahogany Concert-Size Acoustic – Very Good Condition The Martin 0-18 has been part of Martin's history since 1898, and this 2018 example is a fine modern version of a true classic. Small in size but big in voice, the Martin 018 has been a favourite of songwriters, fingerpickers and recording artists for generations. This 0-18 Standard is built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. The top uses scalloped X-bracing with non-scalloped tone bars, giving a lively, responsive sound with surprising volume for its size. The tone is warm, focused and balanced, with a strong midrange, clear trebles and excellent string-to-string separation. The compact single-0 body sits comfortably against the body. That makes the Martin 0 18 a joy to play on the sofa, at the desk, on the road or in the studio. Its clear, defined voice records beautifully and leaves room for vocals and other instruments in a mix. It's particularly well suited to fingerstyle, blues, folk and singer-songwriter playing. The 24.9" short scale and 1 3/4" nut width give a relaxed, comfortable feel. The modified low oval neck profile sits naturally in the hand for both chords and fingerpicking. Classic Style 18 appointments include: an ebony fingerboard and bridge an Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette faux tortoise binding and pickguard nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs a gloss finish with aging toner on the back and sides This used Martin 0-18 is in very good condition, with only light signs of use. It comes with a hard case, which is not the original. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking for a second-hand Martin with classic mahogany tone in a compact, inspiring package. ⸻ Specifications – Martin 0-18 Standard (2018) Brand: C.F.
