All-Quilted Mahogany Body Resonates Warmly

Quilted mahogany is renowned for its beauty and tonal properties. The back, sides and top of this acoustic guitar are crafted from premium quilted mahogany, producing a warm, balanced tone with rich overtones. The lightweight yet resonant wood vibrates freely, sustaining notes and chords with a mellow character. Visually striking, the quilted mahogany shows off an undulating grain pattern that catches the light. For full-bodied tone and timeless aesthetics, quilted mahogany is hard to beat.

Modified Low Oval Neck Plays Smoothly

The Martin Custom Shop 000 18 Style's neck is as comfortable as it is stylish. Made from select hardwood, the modified low oval profile fits snugly in your hand. A 1.75" nut width provides ample space for complex fingerings and barre chords. The smooth ebony fingerboard has 20 frets for a range of three octaves. Pearl dot inlays add a touch of luxury. Whether practicing or performing, you'll find the neck easy and enjoyable to play.
