{"product_id":"1944-martin-00-18","title":"1944 Martin 00-18","description":"\u003cp\u003eConstructed at C.F. Martin's Nazareth factory during the height of WWII, 1944 instruments represent a legendary transitional moment in acoustic luthiery. Due to wartime steel rationing, Martin temporarily replaced its traditional steel T-bar neck reinforcement with a rigid Ebony neck rod. Revered by vintage purists, these wartime \"ebony rod\" acoustics are celebrated for being exceptionally lightweight and ultra-resonant, delivering an immediate, woody responsiveness that modern instruments simply cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with a solid Adirondack Spruce top paired with solid Mahogany back and sides, this 00-18 delivers a colossal voice for a grand concert body shape. Over eight decades of continuous vibration, the tonewoods have dried out completely, producing a warm, dry midrange, exceptional note separation, and a sweet, crystalline treble response. Its compact 00 body size makes it exceptionally comfortable to hold, while its scalloped-era internal architecture yields a wide, dynamic soundstage that responds effortlessly to fingerstyle and flatpickers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1944 model radiates unbeatable pre-war style and authentic patina. It wears it's 82-year-old survivor history proudly. The finish displays heavy, honest play wear, including extensive lacquer checking, pick wear, buckle rash, and light surface marks that tell the story of a well-loved instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis guitar has been given a full service by our luthiers at the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Vintage Instrument Workshop\" href=\"https:\/\/thevintageinstrumentworkshop.com\/\"\u003eVintage Instrument Workshop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and includes a 2 year warranty. \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57278169612666,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/1189\/files\/1944Martin00-18.jpg?v=1789645311","url":"https:\/\/notomguitars.com\/es\/products\/1944-martin-00-18","provider":"No.Tom Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
