Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa - Spruce & Mahogany #3080213

The Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa brings vintage character and intimate musicality together in a compact 00-14 fret body. Its gloss spruce top wears the distinctive 1937 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst, framed by faux tortoise binding and a matching pickguard, while the Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette adds a refined touch of vintage elegance. Genuine mahogany back and sides, finished in gloss dark mahogany, give the guitar a warm visual presence and a rich tonal foundation.

Built with an X-brace pattern and GE-scalloped spruce braces, this guitar is designed for a responsive, expressive voice with the clarity and warmth associated with traditional Martin construction. The ebony GE Modern Belly bridge features a drop-in long saddle, 2 5/16-inch string spacing, black plastic bridge pins, and a bone saddle with a 16-inch radius. Style 18 back purfling and a faux tortoise endpiece complete the classic aesthetic.

The genuine mahogany neck features a GE Modified Low Oval profile, standard taper, satin dark mahogany finish, and a comfortable 24.9-inch scale. Joining the body at the 14th fret, it carries 20 frets and an ebony fingerboard with Old Style 18 abalone inlays. The 1 3/4-inch nut and 2 1/4-inch width at the 12th fret offer a familiar, versatile feel, while yellow side dots and an ebony heelcap provide understated period-inspired details.

A Guatemalan rosewood headplate, authentic-style script overlay, nickel open-gear tuners, and bone nut complete the vintage-inspired design. The guitar is Pleked for precise playability, includes a hardshell case, weighs just 3 pounds 12 ounces, and comes without electronics to preserve its purely acoustic character. With left-handed availability, this Joe Bonamassa signature model offers a beautifully balanced blend of vintage Martin aesthetics, responsive spruce and mahogany tone, and the timeless spirit of a guitar made to be played.
