Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa - Spruce & Mahogany #3080216

The Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa is a vintage-inspired 00-14 fret acoustic guitar that pairs a gloss spruce top with genuine mahogany back and sides for a warm, articulate voice. Its 1937 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst gives the instrument a distinctive aged character, while faux tortoise binding and pickguard, an Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette, and Style 18 back purfling complete its timeless appearance.

Built with a dovetail neck joint, X-bracing, and GE-scalloped 1/4-inch spruce braces, this 00 is designed for a responsive and expressive acoustic voice. 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. The compact body and 24.9-inch scale create an especially comfortable playing experience.

The genuine mahogany neck has a GE Modified Low Oval shape with a standard taper and satin dark mahogany finish. An ebony fingerboard carries Old Style 18 abalone inlays, with a 1 3/4-inch nut width and 2 1/4-inch width at the 12th fret. A Guatemalan rosewood headplate, authentic-style script overlay, nickel open-gear tuning machines, bone nut, and ebony heelcap add further vintage-inspired detail.

Pleked for precise playability, the guitar weighs just 3 pounds 11 ounces and comes with a hardshell case. With no electronics, its character remains entirely acoustic, allowing the spruce and mahogany construction to speak naturally. Left-handed availability makes this Joe Bonamassa model an appealing choice for players seeking a compact Martin with vintage aesthetics, responsive tone, and a strong connection to the sound and spirit of classic acoustic guitars.
