Martin Custom Shop 18 Style 000-14F Adirondack/Sinker Mahogany w/case 3053224

This Martin Custom Shop 18 Style 000-14F was built for Tone Shop Guitars as a focused, responsive take on the classic 000 platform. Featuring an Adirondack spruce top paired with sinker mahogany back and sides, it offers a clear, articulate voice with strong fundamental note separation and a dry, woody character that suits fingerstyle and light-to-medium attack players especially well.

The 000 body size brings a more controlled low end and balanced response compared to a dreadnought, while the scalloped Golden Era bracing and shorter 24.9" scale length enhance responsiveness and feel. A Modified V neck with High Performance taper keeps things comfortable without losing that traditional Martin hand feel, making this a versatile Custom Shop build rooted in vintage-inspired tone and modern playability.
