The ebony bridge, bone nut and saddle, and nickel open-gear tuners ensure optimal intonation, sustain and tuning stability. The scalloped X-bracing further enhances the guitar's projection and tonal balance, delivering a rich and resonant sound that's perfect for both intimate settings and larger venues.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Musical Inspiration

The 00-18 is built with the same handcrafted quality that Martin has been known for since 1833.
