Martin 000-18 Modern Deluxe

Overview

The Martin 000-18 Modern Deluxe blends traditional Martin tone with modern refinements in a comfortable 000 body size. With a spruce VTS top and Adirondack spruce bracing, it delivers a responsive, articulate voice with strong midrange presence and clear trebles, making it well suited for fingerstyle and detailed playing.

Modern construction elements like a carbon fiber bridge plate and Liquidmetal bridge pins enhance sustain and projection, while EVO gold frets and a Vintage Deluxe neck with High-Performance Taper provide a smooth, precise playing experience. Classic styling elements are carried through with rosewood binding and a clean, understated aesthetic.
