The Custom Shop 000-18 offers a seamless way to step into a handcrafted Martin built from premium tonewoods. Featuring a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with genuine mahogany back and sides, this short-scale Auditorium delivers a warm, articulate voice with impressive clarity and balance. Hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped bracing and a traditional dovetail neck joint provide the kind of vintage-style resonance and responsiveness players love.
Comfortable and versatile, the 000 body size shines whether you’re fingerpicking, strumming, or laying down tracks in the studio. Faux tortoise binding adds an elegant custom detail, rounding out its timeless look. Created to make Custom Shop craftsmanship more accessible, this special 000-18 brings heirloom-level quality within easy reach—no special order required.
The Martin 000-18 stands as a true acoustic classic, prized by generations of musicians for its balanced voice and uncompromising craftsmanship. Its Auditorium body produces a rich, evenly distributed tone across all six strings, making it equally at home with delicate fingerstyle passages or confident, full-bodied strumming. Built with a solid Adirondack spruce top, Adirondack bracing and solid mahogany back and sides, the 000-18 delivers crisp, articulate highs, a focused midrange punch, and impressive projection, all within a comfortable, time-honored design.
Exceptional playability comes courtesy of a satin-finished neck featuring Martin’s Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and a 24.9” scale length. Classic ebony appointments—including the bridge, bridge pins, and fingerboard with abalone dot inlays—add understated elegance and nickel open-gear tuners complete the look. The 000-18 is a dependable instrument built to inspire creativity at every level.
As part of Martin’s refreshed 2025 design, this model benefits from Adirondack spruce Golden Era top bracing—borrowed from the Modern Deluxe Series—for enhanced sustain and a warm, vintage-inspired voice. Additional refinements, including a redesigned neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and updated bridge and heel, further elevate comfort, playability, and visual appeal. A hardshell case is included.
