Description

The Martin Custom Shop 000-18 1937 Authentic Sinker Mahogany is a masterwork of classic tone and modern reliability. Sinker mahogany back and sides deliver a unique richness and matured warmth, while the Adirondack spruce top offers punch, clarity, and remarkable dynamic range. Authentic 1937 bracing with hide glue construction captures the true pre-war Martin response—balanced, resonant, and responsive.

The neck features the historic 000-18 Authentic 1937 Barrel & Heel profile for vintage comfort, paired with modern, player-friendly features like an adjustable truss rod and precise Waverly open-back tuners. Finished in vintage gloss with an aging toner top, this 000-18 looks and feels like a perfectly preserved treasure from Martin’s golden era.
