I had a 00-18 and sweet is a good description of the tone. Just a smooth bass rich tone.

Really interesting way to frame the priorities of guitar purchase, Zissou Intern, and I hadn't thought of it like this. And I think ergonomics becomes increasingly important as we age. Fortunately, though I was more dazzled by the tone of the CEO7, it isn't really any better than the 00-18--just different, in the ways that have been outlined in all the posts. Cheers to all!

A final point: the fellow who sold me the 0018 said Adi tops take quite a bit longer than the Sitka to break in. Up to 10 years vs up to 3, depending on how and how often you play. Something to research and consider when choosing between the two tops.

My adi-topped CS 00-18 sounded (to my ears :-) considerably better than the standard sitka-topped 00-18s I auditioned along side it, so I guess it's gonna have monster tone in ten years! :-) I think you did well, though, getting the standard 00-18. They do sound really sweet! Frank |

Congrats and great choice! I agree about adi tops. My two Martins with adi tops continue to get better but he's right, it takes a while. First world problem that I have to play these beautiful guitars a lot to get them to open up! Get to work on your new one and enjoy it.
