Wonderful Martin 0-18 Standard Series, built with Genuine Mahogany and Sitka Spruce. Combine classic tonewoods and over 190 years of expertise and listen to what a concert size body Martin guitar can do.
This Martin 0-18 looks, by today’s standards, as a modest guitar. When she was introduced in 1898 this was a commanding instrument dwarfing the company’s parlor guitars in terms of size. Like the majority of other Martin guitars, the 0-18 evolved from a 12-fret gut-string model to a 14-fret steel-string by the mid-1930s. For many years, the 0-18 remained a fixture in Martin’s catalog, and in the 1950s it was among the company’s hottest offerings, selling nearly as well as the D-28 dreadnought thanks to an agreeable price tag. Some formidable guitarists—Bob Dylan and Steve Earle, to name just two—would make good use of the 0-18’s balanced voice.
And still, by today’s standard, this guitar is commanding with her punchy, present voice! Not as loud as a D but with the built-in LR Baggs HiFi, but she will deliver on any stage. Overall, she provides the classic legendary Martin guitar tone. She is resonant, extremely lightweight at 1.69 kg and very comfortable to play due to the high performance neck and the low action setup. On top of that, an LR Baggs HiFi pickup system is installed. This is the songmaker, bench favorite, studio mate! Listen to a sound impression by Pete Madsen HERE.
