Sound Pure's Take

We wish we could constantly have one of these in stock.  When it comes to classic smallbody acoustics, this just has to be in the top three.  Dry, lightning-fast responsive, just enough midrange growl--a better Blues guitar you will be hard pressed to find!  We love Martin's hugely popular modified low oval, high-performance neck, too.  A fabulous example of how the right amount of modern design choices can really elevate a time-honored acoustic tradition.

From Martin and Co.

The 00-18 is an updated version of the popular 00-18V. A Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides are the foundation for this classic grand concert model. A modified low oval high-performance neck, East Indian rosewood head plate and an ebony fingerboard and bridge complete this model and make it a guitar you will treasure for years to come.
