This Martin Custom Shop 000 Auditorium 18 Style acoustic is a welcome addition from our friends at Martin Guitars. This 12-fret build draws inspiration from golden era Martin guitars and features tonewoods for its top, back, and sides that were specifically selected by Russo Music, a proud Martin Custom Expert dealer.
This Auditorium style guitar begins with a Bearclaw Sitka spruce top, which is characterized by its unique grain pattern, and paired to a sinker mahogany back and sides. The wood grain on this instrument’s body is a huge part of what sets this instrument apart, visually. The mahogany on its back comes in two symmetrical, bookmatched halves that showcase the beauty of mahogany’s grain on full display, contrasting the Bearclaw-style topwood, with grain that seems to follow no rules and is “swashed” in all directions. The guitar’s simple approach to binding and its 18 Style appointments further allow the woodgrain to be a focal point of the guitar’s aesthetic.
The neck of this guitar is built using select hardwood, and carved to a Modified Low Oval profile, and features a slight taper that Martin refers to as “High Performance”. On the neck, a gorgeous ebony fingerboard that matches the guitar’s bridge, features a broad 16″ fingerboard radius, and is divided by 20 frets, twelve being accessible by hand before the neck joint. Between the frets, Old Style 18 abalone inlays pave the wav for fretting hand precision, and remind us of Martin’s past. Quite distinctly, a slotted peghead sits atop the neck for a unique vintage-inspired appearance.
A handmade one of one Martin guitar, it comes loaded with classic USA Martin features such as an ebony bridge and fingerboard, Old Style 18 Abalone inlays, Grover Open Back 18:1 tuners, and Old Style 18 Boltaron rosette. With this guitar being no exception to Martin Custom Shop build quality and sonic excellence, it is most certainly an instrument with its best justice being given in person. For an excellent experience of wood and strings, look to this Martin Custom Shop 000 18 Style acoustic guitar.
