Martin Custom Shop Expert 'Vintage Gloss' 000-18 1937 Natural Acoustic Guitar

Includes Hardshell Case

The Martin Custom Shop Expert 000-18 1937 'Vintage Gloss' Natural Acoustic Guitar blends the iconic voice of a pre-war Martin with the comfort and dependability of a modern player’s instrument. With a 000-14 fret body and premium Adirondack spruce top, this guitar offers a warm, articulate tone with excellent dynamic range and midrange presence. The genuine mahogany back and sides enhance the woody, dry character prized in vintage acoustics, while the forward-shifted scalloped bracing ensures responsive resonance and volume.

Crafted using traditional hide glue and cloth strip construction, this model mirrors the finest 1930s craftsmanship, now paired with an adjustable truss rod for modern adjustability. The vintage gloss finish provides the look and feel of a well-aged heirloom without compromising structural integrity. From its authentic 1937 neck shape to its precision dovetail neck joint, the 000-18 1937 Vintage Gloss is a dream instrument for fingerstyle players, songwriters, and collectors alike.

  • Adirondack spruce top with vintage gloss finish for classic tone and projection

  • Genuine mahogany back and sides provide warmth and vintage character

  • Forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and balance
