Martin Custom Shop 000-18

Serial: 3031932

The Martin Custom Shop 000-18 delivers classic Martin tone and feel in a highly playable, short-scale auditorium body built with premium tonewoods and traditional construction. Featuring a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with genuine mahogany back and sides, this Custom Shop model offers exceptional clarity, warmth, and dynamic response that works equally well for fingerpicking, strumming, and recording.

Hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped bracing and a traditional dovetail neck joint give this 000-18 a lively, open voice with vintage-inspired resonance. Subtle custom touches like faux tortoise binding and Old Style 18 fingerboard inlays round out a timeless design that captures the soul of classic Martins while remaining accessible and versatile for modern players.
