1998 Martin 000-18 Natural
Description
Martin 1998 000-18
This is a 1998 '000-18' model.
It has a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany sides and back.
With a nut width of 42.9 mm, it offers a slim, comfortable grip that differs from that of current models (44.45 mm).
There are signs of age-related wear and tear, including adhesive repair marks on the back of the body (near the waist) and multiple dents and scratches across the body. However, the neck grip and headstock area are in excellent condition with no noticeable damage.
The frets show some wear in the lower positions, but still retain approximately 70–80% of their original profile. The neck and truss rod are in good working order, ensuring good playability.
