Martin Custom Shop Expert 00018 Authentic 1937 Stage 1 Aging 2024

The Custom Shop 00018 1937 offers players the tonal qualities of the Authentic Series with the reliability of a modern guitar.

Inspired by Martin’s legendary 1937 models, which set the standard for generations of guitars, this instrument combines vintage tone and craftsmanship with modern playability. An adjustable truss rod ensures long-lasting stability without compromising the vintage look.

With a Vintage Gloss Adirondack spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, Forward Shifted Scalloped X-bracing, and traditional hide glue and cloth strip construction, the 00018 1937 brings the look, feel, and sound of some of the best guitars ever made.

This model also features Stage 1 Aging, which mimics the subtle crackle and patina of vintage guitars that have been safely stored in their cases for years; with the ravages of time visible, but without the intensive playing wear of relic instruments. This Martin 00018 from 2024 looks very clean and comes with a TFOA passport in a Harptone case.
