Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa - Spruce & Mahogany #3082239

The Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa is a beautifully crafted, vintage-inspired acoustic guitar that brings together a gloss spruce top and genuine mahogany back and sides in the classic 00-14 fret body size. Its 1937 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst gives the top a warm, distinctive character, complemented by faux tortoise binding and pickguard, an Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette, and Style 18 back purfling. The result is an instrument with an unmistakably traditional Martin aesthetic and a visual character all its own.

Its X-brace construction with GE-scalloped 1/4-inch spruce braces is designed for a responsive, open voice, while 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 genuine mahogany back and sides are finished in gloss dark mahogany, bringing warmth and depth to the instrument's overall appearance and tonal character.

The genuine mahogany neck features a GE Modified Low Oval profile, standard taper, and satin dark mahogany finish. Its 24.9-inch scale joins the body at the 14th fret and provides 20 frets, with an ebony fingerboard featuring Old Style 18 abalone inlays. A 1 3/4-inch nut width and 2 1/4-inch width at the 12th fret provide a comfortable playing feel, while the ebony heelcap and yellow side dots add subtle period-inspired details.

The vintage character continues through the solid square-taper headstock, Guatemalan rosewood headplate, authentic-style script overlay, nickel open-gear tuning machines, oval knobs, and bone nut. A paper label with a pre-printed Joe Bonamassa signature gives the guitar a distinctive connection to its namesake. Pleked for precise playability, this left-handed-available model weighs only 3 pounds 11 ounces and includes a hardshell case. With no electronics, the 00-18 Joe Bonamassa remains devoted to its natural acoustic voice, offering a compact, expressive instrument with timeless spruce and mahogany character.
