Used - Excellent+ Condition
Body: there is a small chip in the lacquer on the back of the body; a few very light surface scratches in the lacquer, nothing through to the wood through, can be found on the top, back, and sides--very little buckle rash; there are a few dings that can be found along the back binding on the treble side, but other than that the binding is all intact; light scratches from typical use can be seen on the pickguard
Neck, Fretboard, and Headstock: the neck and fretboard both look virtually flawless; the headstock looks almost flawless except for a couple of very faint scuff marks along the very end of the back edge
Action and Playability: the action is about medium-low, plus the neck is straight, the truss rod functions flawlessly, and there is no bridge lift or neck heel separation
Frets: almost no wear at all
Hardware: all looks fantastic
Includes: acoustic guitar (case and gig bag not included)
Making waves as one of Martin's most influential and high-fidelity acoustic body styles, the 000-18 continues to provide contemporary musicians and homebody players with traditional tone and power. Bound by tradition, Martin's Standard series acoustic guitars represent the pinnacle of golden-age acoustic guitar design, albeit equipped with an assemblage of modernized features for improved play and comfort. Potent sonics begin within the 000-18's meticulously selected spruce and mahogany tonewood formula and elite X-bracing pattern, fostering a developed yet authentic tone with plenty of room to accommodate any genre or play style. Its contemporary upgrades come in the form of complementary nickel hardware, a true bone nut and compensated bone saddle, and "Golden Era" appointments. Whether you're a fan of Martin's coveted mid-century guitar-building practices or need a new asset in your acoustic arsenal, the 000-18 is a ripe contender!
