Martin Custom Shop 000 12-Fret, 18-Style, Adirondack Spruce and Sinker Mahogany Acoustic Guitar
Taking a page from history and blending it with the precision of modern craftsmanship, the Martin Custom Shop 000, 18-Style Auditorium echoes the legacy of the revered 18-style design. At Russo Music, as a proud Martin Custom Shop Expert Dealer, we’re delighted to offer this gem that marries tradition and innovation.
An Adirondack spruce top of authentic thickness harmonizes perfectly with sinker mahogany back and sides—a pairing that’s as easy on the eyes as it is on the ears. “Golden Era” scalloped X Bracing of 1/4″ Adirondack spruce allows the top to vibrate more freely while reinforcing the body, ensuring stability.
This Martin Custom Shop model features understated yet stylish ornamentation with Old Style 18 abalone inlays resting elegantly on a black ebony fingerboard. The selection of abalone gives a nod to the iconic traditional aesthetics of the 18-style design.
The neck is carved to a Modified Low Oval profile, making it super comfortable in the hand and a dream to play. A 16″ fingerboard radius complements the 20 standard frets, making for an effortless playing experience along the 24.9″ scale length.
Purely acoustic, this Martin Custom Shop beauty relies on its inherent tonal qualities without the need for any electronics. A modern belly ebony bridge with a drop-in compensated bone saddle ensures ideal string spacing and intonation.
Adorning the guitar is a natural gloss finish on the body with a satin finish on the neck, amplifying the instrument’s inherent charm. The guitar comes with a flat top hardshell case, keeping it secure and ready for any journey it embarks upon.
The Martin Custom Shop 000, 18-Style Auditorium is a testament to Martin’s steadfast commitment to quality, history, and the innovative spirit they share with Russo Music.
