Martin Guitar's 0-18 acoustic guitar brings together decades of luthiery experience with premium materials to achieve a tone that's as rich as it is balanced. The 0-18 has a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides in a concert body size that's compact yet full-sounding. Its modified low-oval neck and 1.75" nut width make complex chords and melodic runs easily accessible.

Scallop Bracing Releases the 0-18's Natural Voice

The 0-18's scalloped "X" bracing allows its solid spruce top to resonate freely, producing notes that bloom with harmonic richness and clarity. Chords ring out with a balance of lows and highs that flatters vocals or blends well in an ensemble. Single notes have a rounded warmth and definition that encourages expressive playing.

Time-Tested Tonewoods for a Lifetime of Music

Solid spruce and mahogany have been used for generations to craft acoustic guitars with enduring tone and beauty. The 0-18's solid spruce top will mature over years of playing, opening up to reveal deeper bass and more complex highs. Its mahogany back and sides provide a stable foundation for the top's vibration, with a midrange focus that gives chords and melodies a natural presence.

A Neck Designed for Comfort and Playability

The 0-18's modified low-oval neck has a slim, fast profile with a 1.75" nut width, ideal for guitarists with smaller hands or those who prefer an unobtrusive neck. Its shorter 24.9" scale makes higher frets more accessible. An ebony fretboard offers a smooth playing surface, while open-geared nickel tuners provide precise and stable tuning.

Premium Appointments and Lasting Value

From its dovetail neck joint to its ebony bridge and fretboard, the 0-18 is crafted with care using time-honored techniques and premium materials. It includes a hardshell case for protection and comes with Martin's limited lifetime warranty. The 0-18 delivers the tone, comfort and craftsmanship of Martin's most revered guitars in an instrument you'll enjoy for life.

    Great couch guitar. Super comfortable and playable. And of course that unsurpassable Martin sound. I own a D-28 and a 000-28 Modern Deluxe, but I play the 0-18 most of the time. Great purchase.

  • Excellent guitar, except...

    Almost everything about this guitar is excellent except the intonation. I've played less expensive brands that had better intonation than this. I wanted this guitar so very much but sadly I'll have to return it. Of course acoustic guitar intonation isn't perfect but at this price point I expect better.

    This guitar has wonderful timbre colors in any place on the fretboard. I play Classical, Baroque, Renaissance, Romantic music. I use the sagework support because it has nitrocellulose finish that I bought from stringsbymail.com. Highly recommend this guitar!

  • I love everything about this guitar.

    This guitar is perfect. I've bought several nice guitars some more expensive than this but I feel I have definitely found one that I will keep forever. I love everything about this guitar, the sound, smell, feel, and look.

    I bought this guitar for my wife, who plays fingerstyle (as do I). It's an amazing instrument. Beautiful, full tone, balanced across all registers. Surprisingly loud for its small size and light weight. Fit and finish are flawless. This guitar will only get better with age and use. It has a long life ahead of it. I have a 000-28EC and a HD-28, both wonderful guitars, but I love this little guy enough to think I want to get one for myself.

  • Awesome tone - set up was surprisingly comfortable

    Great small body profile makes for the perfect back porch or sofa guitar. Finger picking is fab and the volume is adequate for small venue with or without mic.

    How much does this guitar weigh, please? On the internet, I read that some of the 0-18s weigh 3 lb 10 ounces and some weigh over 5 lbs.

    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 9 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will come in at 6- 7 lbs
