The Custom Shop 000-18 Black Walnut Edition offers a refined reinterpretation of Martin's classic 000-18 model, showcasing the perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern artistry. Built with US domestically sourced Black Walnut for the back and sides, it produces a warm, resonant tone with articulate mids and rich harmonic depth. The European Flamed Maple bindings and natural fibre inlays add visual sophistication, enhancing its timeless appeal.
A solid spruce top with scalloped spruce bracing provides dynamic projection and clarity across all registers, while the 24.9" scale length and genuine mahogany neck offer a smooth, responsive feel. Featuring a Mod Low Oval profile with a High Performance taper, along with an ebony fingerboard and bridge, this model delivers exceptional playability and balance. With vintage-style Grover nickel tuners, a full-gloss finish, and a domed-top hardshell case, the 000-18 Black Walnut stands as a stunning example of Martin's Custom Shop excellence.
