USED MARTIN / CTM OOO18VTS [03]

2019 USA-made, pre-owned MARTIN Custom Shop "CTM00018VTS" is in stock!

The difference from the regular 000-18STANDARD is that the TOP Sitka spruce wood has a special heat treatment called VTS treatment to make it sound like vintage.
The sides and back are mahogany, and the fingerboard and bridge are ebony.
The neck profile is Modified Low Oval, which makes it easier to play.

Compared to the STANDARD, the sound is more extended, with a beautiful chorus-like overtone ripple, giving it a cleaner impression.
This guitar has a solid volume and good rise, making it a great guitar to play.
The nut width is 44.5mm, and the paint is clear paint that can be enjoyed over time.

The satin paint on the back of the neck has a slight sheen from playing.
The frets are about 70% full and a little low.
L.R. Baggs Lyric pickups are installed.
There are some minor scratches, but the guitar is in very good condition for a used guitar.

The string height is about 2.5mm at the 12th fret of the 6th string and about 2.2mm at the 12th fret of the 1st string, which is appropriate and easy to play.
The truss rod has about a half turn left in the tightening direction.

Both playing comfort and sound are good.
A genuine hard case is included.
