---

Overview

The Martin Custom Shop 18 Style 0000 pairs Certified European (High Altitude Swiss) spruce with Sinker mahogany to create a stunning blend of articulation, warmth, and balance. Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania by Martin’s world-renowned Custom Shop, this 0000 (Grand Auditorium) body offers the perfect middle ground between a dreadnought’s power and an OM’s clarity.

The Euro spruce top provides dynamic headroom and shimmering overtones, while the Sinker mahogany back and sides—sourced from ancient river-recovered logs—add depth and harmonic richness unique to this rare tonewood. With its short-grain responsiveness, hand-scalloped Golden Era bracing, and aging toner top, this guitar delivers the best of Martin’s vintage tradition in a refined, Custom Shop build.
