The Martin 000-18MD Modern Deluxe Acoustic Guitar offers a refined take on a classic design, blending vintage warmth with cutting-edge innovation. Featuring a Sitka spruce top treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System® (VTS), this guitar delivers the matured, open tone of a well-aged instrument right out of the case. Its East Indian rosewood back and sides provide rich low-end presence and balanced high-end detail, making it ideal for fingerstyle players and light strummers alike.

This model shines with deluxe appointments, including East Indian rosewood binding, gold EVO frets, and Liquidmetal® bridge pins with red dots for enhanced sustain. A composite carbon fiber bridgeplate reduces weight while boosting resonance. The neck’s slightly asymmetrical profile ensures a naturally ergonomic feel, and the dovetail neck joint adds classic tonal transfer. With both modern engineering and traditional elegance, the 000-18MD is built for discerning players who demand comfort, tone, and performance.

Features:

• VTS-treated Sitka spruce top for aged tone and immediate responsiveness

• East Indian rosewood body for warmth, clarity, and tonal complexity

• Asymmetrical neck shape for maximum comfort and playability

• Liquidmetal® bridge pins and carbon fiber bridgeplate for increased sustain

• Gold EVO frets, script headstock inlay, and rosewood binding for premium aesthetics
