{"product_id":"martin-000-18-standard-series-acoustic-guitar-natural-aged-toner","title":"Martin 000-18 Standard Series Acoustic Guitar - Natural Aged Toner","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Interstellar Tone Traveler has a particular appreciation for instruments that prioritize feel over fanfare — and the Martin 000-18 is among the most quietly compelling guitars in any catalog, anywhere. The 000 Auditorium body with a 24.9\" short scale is one of the most player-friendly platforms Martin has ever built: intimate enough for extended fingerstyle sessions, responsive enough to reward every dynamic nuance, and comfortable enough that hours dissolve without the player noticing. Solid mahogany back and sides are the heart of the 000-18's personality — focused, warm, and punchy in the midrange in a way that rosewood simply doesn't replicate, with a directness and immediacy that makes every note feel present and intentional. The 2025 Standard Series refresh brings GE-scalloped X-bracing into this platform with the vintage-inspired resonance previously found only in the Modern Deluxe lineup, opening up the 000-18's natural voice with a depth of sustain and tonal complexity that elevates the entire Standard Series experience. Black binding, Style 18 back purfling, Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette, and ebony bridge pins with no dots — every visual detail speaks the same language: honest, purposeful, and entirely confident in its own identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhere the Custom Shop 000-18 represents the pinnacle of hand-crafted Martin excellence with Adirondack bracing and individually shaped components, the Standard Series 000-18 delivers that same foundational design philosophy to a broader range of players — the same mahogany warmth, the same 000 body intimacy, the same short-scale comfort, now with the 2025 refresh's reimagined neck profile and refined bridge and heel making it more playable than any previous Standard Series version. Abalone Old Style 18 fingerboard inlay on ebony adds a subtle elegance to the understated aesthetic, while nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs, aging toner gloss top, and a black heel cap and endpiece complete a guitar that carries its heritage without ceremony or pretense. For the Interstellar Tone Traveler who wants the mahogany 000 voice in its most direct, accessible, and player-ready expression — the Standard Series 000-18 delivers every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Spruce \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish Top:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Color: \u003c\/b\u003eAging Toner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Inlay Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Style:\u003c\/b\u003e GE Modern Belly - Drop in Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge String Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003e2 5\/32\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pin Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pin Dots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faux Tortoise \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosette:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Style 18 Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compensated Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 000-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dovetail Neck Joint \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack and Sides Color:\u003c\/b\u003e Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip:\u003c\/b\u003e Style 18 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Inlay Material:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing Pattern:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003eX-Brace\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrace Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e GE-Scalloped \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrace Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spruce \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrace SIze:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeel Cap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndpiece Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e GE Modified Low Oval\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Taper:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-Performance Taper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.9\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joins Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 1\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlay Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Style 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abalone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid with Square and Taper \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadplate Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e East Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadplate Logo Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Script Old Style Overlay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadplate Binding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadplate Detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel Open Gear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnob:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterbean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardshell\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53221798150328,"sku":"10Y2500018","price":2999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Martin3032135_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1777659379","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/martin-000-18-standard-series-acoustic-guitar-natural-aged-toner","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
