The Martin 0-18 is a beautifully intimate acoustic that delivers classic Martin warmth in a compact, effortlessly playable form. Its spruce top and genuine mahogany back and sides create a focused, woody voice with clear articulation and surprising depth, perfect for fingerstyle and light strumming. The short 24.9" scale and Modified Low Oval neck with high-performance taper feel immediately comfortable, inviting long, relaxed playing sessions. Finished with tasteful Style 18 details and an aging toner that adds vintage charm, this 0-18 is a timeless, heirloom-worthy investment—built to mature gracefully and reward nuance, touch, and musical honesty for years to come.
A welcome addition to the Standard Series, the new 0-18 has a scallop-braced spruce top with mahogany back and sides that serve as the foundation for this concert sized model. The combination of a short expressive 24.9” scale with a modified low oval neck shape and the high performance parallel taper allows for easy action and fast playability. Open geared nickel tuners with phosphor bronze strings and an ebony fingerboard and bridge complete the look of this classic parlor guitar.
For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
