Default 2022 Martin 000-18 Modern Deluxe - Price Reduction

Price lowered! $2700 our-the-door shipped, or less with a fee free payment.

I have a Martin 000-18 Modern Deluxe in great condition. It's a wonderful guitar. Big sound for a smaller body guitar, but still has the classic Martin tone we all love.

If you're not familiar with Martin's Modern Deluxe line, they made a bunch of custom updates to the standard line. Some vintage updates, and some modern updates. You really get a lot for the money. Here's a list of upgrades this line has over the standard series:
- VTS Sitka top (torrified)
- VTS Adirondack bracing (torrified)
- Beautiful rosewood binding
- Protein glue construction
- Upgraded gold Waverly tuners
- Upgraded EVO gold frets that last longer
- Pearl inlaid Martin logo on the headstock
- Strong and light carbon fiber Bridge plate
- Upgraded liquid metal bridge pins
- A custom asymmetric neck profile they took from one of their historic museum guitars that is very comfortable
- An upgraded hard shell case

I might be missing a few, but all of these changes lead to an incredibly light, resonant and responsive guitar. There are a lot of custom upgrades in this line and it shows in the look and tone. It's got surprising tone for a smaller body, and can do anything.

The guitar has no bumps or dings except a little indent near two tuners from a string unwinding tool. It's barely noticeable but shown in the pictures. Other than that, it's in excellent condition. It's been humidified and kept in its case its whole life. It hasn't left my home, and still has that new guitar smell.

I can provide additional information or additional picture on request

Some more pictures, but it looks like most of them are too big, so I can size them down and send them on request

I'm wondering if you have the right pics? The pic of the back looks to be a dreadnought.

Beautiful! I got to play a new one yesterday next to a Collings and preferred the MD. So light and responsive.
