Axe Asylum
Used Martin Custom Shop 000-18 Acoustic Guitar 1815266
This guitar is in on trade. It is in very nice shape. It's clean, cosmetically and it is fully functioning. The neck is straight, the frets are still crowned and the truss rod is functioning properly. Included with the guitar is the original hardshell case.
This is a beautiful Custom Shop Martin Acoustic Guitar with some serious upgrades where it matters most. Let's start with the Adirondack Spruce top which add some serious volume and projection when you really dig in. Teamed with Genuine Mahogany back and sides, this little bodied guitar packs some serious sound! Adirondack Top Braces were also used during construction which were scalloped and positioned in the Golden Era format.
A Genuine Mahogany Neck is carved to a modified V Profile with a 30's Style heel. The neck is topped with a piece of black Ebony, then carved to a 16" radius. 24.80" scale length gives this guitar a slightly slinky feel but not at the sacrifice of tone. A Bone Nut and a Bone, Compensated Saddle make this beauty sing.
An Ambertone Sunburst looks amazing on any Martin and this one showcases that concept perfectly! Faux Tortoise Binding on the top and back give this a subtle touch of beauty. This is a beautiful instrument with well thought out specs. To order this now, the retail price would be right about $5,500!
