Martin 0-18 - Secondhand

Full Description

Crafted for beautiful harmonics

The tonal qualities of the 0-18 are deeply rooted in its choice of premium materials, which work together to create rich, full sounds that are both warm and resonant. The spruce top is a crucial element in shaping the guitar's tonality, as it offers excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio, resulting in a strong projection and well-defined highs. Its ability to age gracefully further enhances the tonal character, making it a favourite among guitarists seeking a timeless acoustic.

Its genuine mahogany body adds warmth and depth to the overall tone, providing a perfect balance with the spruce top's bright and articulate characteristics. Complementing this is a select hardware neck and ebony fingerboard, which offer exceptional playability and tonal response, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The combination of these high-quality materials allows the Martin 0-18 to deliver a versatile and expressive sound, suitable for various music genres and playing styles. This remarkable blend of tonal qualities makes it a true gem in the world of acoustic guitars.

Glide from fret to fret gracefully

Renowned for its exceptional playability, the Martin 0-18 offers a comfortable and enjoyable experience that allows for effortless expression. The select hardware neck features a modified low oval shape and high-performance taper, providing a smooth, easy-to-navigate surface for both chord transitions and intricate lead lines. The ebony fingerboard not only adds to the tonal depth but also contributes to its outstanding feel, with its natural smoothness lending itself to swift and precise finger movements. A go-to-choice for musicians seeking a reliable and inspiring instrument that feels like an extension of their own creativity.

The perfect body build

The Martin 0-14 fret body shape offers a range of benefits that make it an attractive choice for guitarists of various skill levels and styles. Smaller and more compact than many other acoustic guitar shapes, this body provides a comfortable playing experience, particularly for those with smaller hands or who prefer a more intimate feel when holding the instrument. The reduced size does not compromise on sound, as the carefully designed proportions and premium materials ensure rich, warm, and well-balanced tones. This design also delivers excellent projection and clarity, making it suitable for fingerpicking, flatpicking, and strumming techniques alike.
