The Martin 00‑18G Natural is a classic vintage acoustic guitar from C.F. Martin’s mid-20th-century line, and a 1959 Martin 00-18G is a particularly interesting example of this rare model. The 1959 Martin 00-18G is a small-bodied 00-size nylon-string guitar built by Martin in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The “G” suffix stands for gut (or nylon) strings, meaning it was designed with fan bracing and a flat fingerboard to accommodate a nylon string setup rather than a steel string configuration, giving it a warm, clear, and balanced tone well suited to fingerstyle and folk playing.
