Default NGD Martin 00018 !!!!!!

Finally........a brand new Martin 00018 !! Only just in at the store and unmolested !

Had to trade my 00015M unfortunately, but at the end of the day I am not an all mahog fan although it was a lovely guitar. ( Kept the ebony pins though and transferred onto the 00018, plastic ?? at that price ? never mind )

It is an incredible sounding instrument and the volume from the auditorium body is impressive !!

I had a 000-18 a while back, and it was a great guitar...a little quiet for my particular taste, but a great guitar at any rate. Congratulations! I'm sure you love it!

Congrats on a wonderful all-arounder.

The 000-18 I have is starting to get the lion's share of play time, lately. It really does it all.

ENJOY IT!!!!

Congrats! Definitely a tonal difference between the 15 and 18 series and you were fortunate to own both. Sounds like the trade will serve you well. Enjoy!

The mighty 000-18 is one of the great iconic acoustic guitars of all time. Glad you're loving it.
