Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst

Modeled on Joe’s beloved 1937 00-18, the Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa grants you the golden-era vibe of a prewar Martin treasure with all the benefits of modern performance and playability. This compact acoustic guitar’s spruce top wears a custom-printed sunburst finish that replicates the graceful aging of Joe’s nearly century-old 00. Complemented by a genuine mahogany back and sides and GE scalloped X-bracing, the 00-18 Joe Bonamassa’s vintage-style tonewood formula sings with a firm bass response, crisp highs, and a powerful midrange punch. Factor in the superb string-to-string balance of the compact 00-sized body, and this Martin is equally at home plucking out raunchy Delta-style blues lines or serving as a singer/songwriter’s go-to strummer. Next, the genuine mahogany neck sports a slim and comfortable GE Modified Low Oval profile, while the ebony fingerboard features a comfortable 1.75-inch nut. Faux tortoiseshell binding, old-school open-gear tuners, and classic Old Style 18 inlays further solidify this Martin’s retro aura. As one of the world’s foremost curators of vintage American guitars, Joe knows better than almost anyone what makes Martin’s golden-era models so special. The Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa faithfully channels those sought-after qualities, allowing you to take Martin’s coveted prewar formula and make it your own.
