The 1948 Martin 00-18G is a beautifully crafted vintage nylon-string guitar, built with a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides for a warm, balanced, and articulate voice. Designed during Martin's early classical era, the "G" designation stands for "gut" strings, making it one of the company's first guitars intended for classical-style playing. Its comfortable 00-size body, slotted headstock, and timeless Style 18 appointments make it equally appealing to players and collectors seeking authentic post-war Martin craftsmanship.
