Martin Authentic Series 000-18

Martin Authentic Series 000-18 Authentic 1937 Acoustic Guitar Natural



C.F. Martin "Authentic™ Series" guitars go well beyond the already highly acclaimed Golden Era® vintage recreations in faithfully replicating the specifications, materials and processes used in the construction of the original pre-WWII Martin guitars. These custom hand-constructed acoustic guitars draw their inspiration from stellar 1937 examples and employ the use of hide glue as well as a T-shaped neck reinforcement bar. Other significant features on this Martin guitar include an Adirondack red spruce top with circa 1937 contoured Adirondack bracing, a specially shaped tortoise-colored pickguard, a narrow tortoise-colored end piece, old style 18 abalone position markers, grained ivoroid side position dots, black ebony fingerboard and bridge, fossil ivory nut and saddle, premium Waverly® period tuning gears, and a vintage case.
