Product Description
The 000-18 Modern Deluxe merges VTS-aged spruce tone, dovetail construction and classic Martin voicing with modern hardware and ergonomic refinements such as Liquidmetal bridge pins, a carbon fibre bridgeplate and a comfortable Vintage Deluxe neck. It is a versatile, road-ready 000 that suits players seeking vintage character with contemporary advantages.
Features
- Vintage Tone System Spruce Top - Martin’s VTS spruce top paired with Adirondack bracing and a GE-scalloped X pattern gives the guitar a mature, resonant voice with enhanced dynamic range and a naturally broken-in tonal character.
- Liquidmetal Bridge Pins and Carbon Fibre Bridgeplate - Liquidmetal bridge pins increase tuning stability and percussive clarity, while the composite carbon fibre bridgeplate boosts top energy to deliver superior volume and projection.
- Vintage Deluxe Neck with High Performance Taper - The slightly asymmetrical Vintage Deluxe neck shape and high performance taper provide exceptional comfort and fast navigation up and down the 20-fret fingerboard.
- Premium Appointments and Build Quality - East Indian rosewood binding, gold frets and tuners, an ebony fingerboard and pearl inlays create a distinctive look while dovetail construction and natural protein glue ensure authentic Martin tone and longevity.
Vintage Tone System (VTS) Spruce Top
The VTS-treated spruce top, combined with Adirondack spruce bracing, captures the tonal characteristics of a well-aged instrument. The GE-scalloped X brace pattern encourages top movement and responsiveness for a wide dynamic range and clear harmonic complexity, making it ideal for expressive fingerstyle and confident strumming.
Liquidmetal Pins and Carbon Fibre Bridgeplate
Liquidmetal bridge pins are denser and more stable than traditional pins, delivering pronounced attack and precise string-to-top transfer. The composite carbon fibre bridgeplate amplifies this effect by increasing the top’s energy return, resulting in greater projection and presence without colouring the essential Martin voice.
Neck Comfort and Playability
The Vintage Deluxe neck profile with a high performance taper is slightly asymmetrical for ergonomic comfort. Paired with a 1 3/4" nut, ebony fingerboard and a factory Plek setup, the result is a smooth, playable neck that encourages long sessions and fast repertoire changes.
Distinctive Appointments
Cosmetic and functional details set this model apart: East Indian rosewood binding and heelcap, gold open-gear tuners and gold frets, a tortoise-pattern pickguard and an Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette. These choices give the guitar a refined, vintage-inspired appearance while supporting serious tonal performance.
