Default NGD: 2020 Martin 000-18

Been searching for a 000-18 for a couple years now and the stars finally aligned and I snagged this one. Mint condition and looks and sounds awesome.

It's actually been a 9 or 10 year search for a mahogany guitar to pair with my D28. Owned a couple different J45's but neither really hit the mark. But this 000-18 seems to have the sound I've been looking for.

Nice. I’ve owned at least one 000 18 for the past 50 years. It’s my favorite Martin.

Congrats!

Just had a similar situation where I picked up a new 000-18. My J-45 also leaves me uninspired.

Awesome guitar! Enjoy!
