The Martin Limited Edition 00-18 Tim O’Brien Acoustic Guitar is based in tradition, but incorporates some features not previously found in the Martin line. Tim had some specific ideas about what he wanted in a signature guitar model. He chose the “00” body and the “18” styling, which on his model includes solid Mahogany for the sides and back and Adirondack spruce for the top.
This very good condition 2011 model, #78 of 100, is a great players guitar. Some dings, bumps and scratches, but no cracks and good frets. It’s been played, but hey, why not? It’s a player’s guitar and Tim O would approve. Also has a K&K pickup installed with endpin jack.
This 00-18 features 1/4″ Adirondack Spruce scalloped braces and tone bars with a Maple bridge plate. The thin bracing and the stiffness of the Adirondack Spruce produces a clear bell-like tone with volume suitable for both fingerpicking and flatpicking.
In a show of support for the use of alternative woods, Tim O’Brien chose solid Spanish Cedar for the full-thickness “V” neck, attached to the body with Martin’s traditional dove-tailed neck joint. The Ebony fingerboard features Abalone Pearl diamonds and squares inlay and soundhole rosette.
A unique feature of the Martin 00-18 Tim O’Brien guitar is its 25-1/2″ scale length with a 1 3/4″ nut width, which is typically reserved for dreadnoughts and orchestra models. This feature adds to the power and volume of this specially designed acoustic guitar.
The interior label of the Martin 00-18 Tim O’Brien Limited Edition Acoustic Guitar will be personally signed by O’Brien.
