The 000-18 Modern Deluxe is a new take on Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you must see, feel and hear for yourself. The vintage finish includes a spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM (VTS) top, dovetail neck joint and natural protein glue construction that give it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is very different from the "regular" Standard Series 000-18 with East Indian rosewood binding, stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a unique 1930s-style script logo inlaid in mother-of-pearl on the headstock. Some state-of-the-art features include "Liquidmetal" bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon-fiber bridge plate that increases volume. And we have a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort on and along the fingerboard. This guitar is anything but standard.
Despite its relatively small 000 body, this Modern Deluxe sounds GIGANTIC. It seems like you are dealing with a Dreadnought, it is almost unbelievable how fat this guitar sounds, especially in its low end. At the same time, the dynamic range typical to a small-body acoustic is not lost. On the contrary; with dynamic fingerstyle playing this guitar just keeps on amazing with every note you play.
