Known for its compact 0 size body, lightweight construction and balanced tonal response, the 0-18 has long been favoured by fingerstyle players and musicians looking for a comfortable, highly responsive acoustic with plenty of character.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1980 Martin 0-18 continues the tradition of the model, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides for a warm, articulate voice with excellent clarity and projection. The smaller body size produces a focused and responsive tone, making it equally suited to fingerstyle playing, blues and more delicate acoustic work. Traditional Style 18 appointments include simple binding, a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, along with the understated aesthetic that has made this series a favourite among players for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is presented in generally clean condition for its age and remains a great playing example of a late production Martin 0-18. It has undergone some previous repair work during its lifetime, including internal patches applied to two cracks extending from either side of the pickguard towards the bridge, along with a repair to a further crack running along the centre seam of the top from the bridge area. The bridge has been lightly sanded and is slightly thinner than original, while the nut slots have been cut slightly deeper to improve playability. The edges of the original pickguard have also developed some minor age related warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar includes its original Martin case. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all our vintage instruments, this 1980 0-18 has been given a full service and appraisal by the \u003ca title=\"Vintage Instrument Workshop\" href=\"https:\/\/thevintageinstrumentworkshop.com\"\u003eVintage Instrument Workshop\u003c\/a\u003e, and includes a 2 year warranty. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57151539904890,"sku":null,"price":3495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/1189\/files\/IMG_6134.jpg?v=1786120494","url":"https:\/\/notomguitars.com\/products\/1980-martin-0-18","provider":"No.Tom Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
