This Martin Custom Shop 0-18 build hosts several tonal upgrades bringing forth a classic, vintage-inspired Martin sound. Featuring a gorgeous set of Sinker Mahogany back and sides, paired with a VTS Adirondack top, this Custom Shop single 0 delivers build quality and sound inspired by the venerable pre-war models. Punchy, with plenty of volume, but can also deliver quiet, articulate warmth as well. The Martin VTS package includes their signature torrefaction process that ages the top on a molecularly level, opening up the wood and sounding like an old-friend despite its relatively young age.
Made in 2021, this model is here in Excellent condition, with some playwear to the guard, light surface scratches on the back and a hardly discernible finish smudge along the backside of the headstock, visible in just the right light. There is an interesting color variation to the book-matched top when viewed head on, giving a distinctly darker feel to the left side, all purely cosmetic and is reminiscent of some of our favorite vintage Martins. Overall, a gorgeous build featuring the legendary craftsmanship from the Martin Custom Shop, culminating in a guitar that has plenty of voice for years to come. Includes the original Martin hardshell case.
