Martin Custom Shop 00-18 (2023) Excellent condition
This 2023 Martin Custom Shop 00-18 is in excellent condition. It has the classic Adirondack top and mahogany back and sides. There are no scratches or pick marks on the body or the pick guard. The frets are in excellent condition. It looks almost new. There is one small spot where the binding has a clear coat blemish which I photographed. It is hard to notice unless you're looking.
I have only used this guitar for learning finger style. It is a great sounding, responsive, and very comfortable guitar. The case is also in excellent condition. This guitar also comes with an L.R. Baggs M80 removable sound hole pickup. It is a great sounding pickup which I prefer to under saddle pickups. This pickup was professionally installed and is in excellent condition. When you need a pickup, just clamp it on and plug in. The pickup can be passive or active and retails for $280.00. The guitar has lived in my studio and has only been played in my home. I am only selling this fantastic guitar because I have a Pre-War Company 00-18 coming. Below are the specs from Martin:
