Classically minded yet thoroughly outfitted, this 000-18 carries forward Martin’s celebrated 000-14 Fret tradition in a comfortable, versatile format that any Martin fan can appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMartin’s mastery of acoustic guitar design and playability is immediately apparent. Whether you’re a flatpicker, fingerpicker, or somewhere in between, the 000-18 is designed to inspire. Its classic 000-14 Fret body pairs a solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides, delivering a beautifully balanced and expressive tonal palette. Bright, articulate trebles, a punchy midrange, and impressive projection give this guitar a strong voice from the first note. Golden Era (GE) scalloped spruce bracing further enhances the response, adding fluidity, dynamics, and depth to the overall sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe left-handed 000-18 features a select hardwood neck with Martin’s GE Modified Low Oval profile and High-Performance taper, joined to the body with a traditional dovetail joint. The result is a comfortable, smooth-playing neck that encourages effortless movement across the fingerboard. An ebony fingerboard features 20 frets and Old Style 18 abalone inlays, while the neck’s satin finish and smooth fingerboard provide a comfortable feel for extended playing sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA carefully selected combination of hardware and appointments completes the instrument. The headstock features a bone nut and nickel open-gear tuning machines for smooth tuning and reliable performance. At the opposite end, an ebony GE Modern Belly bridge with a compensated bone drop-in saddle promotes efficient string vibration transfer and dependable intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the 000-18 combines classic Martin styling with an understated, naturally aged character. A multi-stripe top inlay, black binding, and Martin’s Aging Toner finish on the top give the guitar a distinctive, time-honored appearance. The left-handed configuration makes all of this classic Martin craftsmanship available to players who require a true left-handed instrument rather than a standard model simply strung in reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Martin 000-18 Left-Handed is an outstanding choice for players looking for the unmistakable tone, feel, and craftsmanship of a Martin Standard Series guitar in a dedicated left-handed configuration. It also includes a Martin ply hardshell case for secure storage and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartin Standard Series 000-14 Fret auditorium model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss-finished solid spruce top with Martin Aging Toner color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss-finished solid mahogany back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finished select hardwood neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Era \"GE\" Modified Low Oval neck profile with High Performance taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony fingerboard with twenty frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbalone Old Style 18 fret inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel open gear tuning machines and bone nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEbony Golden Era Modern Belly bridge with drop-in compensated bone saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack body binding with multi-stripe top inlay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMartin hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Martin Guitars","offers":[{"title":"M3055768","offer_id":55909801099432,"sku":"10Y2500018L|||M3055768","price":2999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/10Y2500018L_STANDARD-SERIES-000-18-LEFT-HANDED-SPRUCE-MAHOGANY_M3055768_2.jpg?v=1787782967","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/martin-000-18-standard-series-left-handed-acoustic-guitar-natural","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
