C.F. Martin & Co. 000-18GE Golden Era 1937 Sunburst (2006) – Adirondack Spruce – Very Good Condition This Martin 000-18GE Golden Era from 2006 — also searched as Martin 00018GE, Martin 000 18 GE, Martin 000-18 Golden Era, used Martin 000-18GE, or Martin Adirondack mahogany acoustic — is a highly desirable vintage-inspired acoustic guitar based on Martin’s legendary pre-war 1937 000-18.

This lightweight, vintage-inspired construction allows the smaller 000 body to produce impressive volume, projection and resonance. The result is a wonderfully expressive guitar that responds beautifully to delicate fingerpicking while offering plenty of power for flatpicking and strumming. The 24.9” short scale provides comfortable string tension, while the traditional Modified V neck with a 1930s-style heel and 1 3/4” (44.5 mm) nut width deliver an authentic vintage Martin playing experience. Premium Golden Era appointments include an ebony fingerboard and bridge, a long through saddle, Brazilian rosewood headplate, vintage-style open-gear tuners, Old Style 18 fingerboard inlays and traditional tortoise-pattern binding. The 2006 production year is particularly interesting, as it represents the introductory year of the 000-18GE series, which has since been di
