Martin 0-18 Review

Amazing!!!

A wonderful little instrument with a huge voice! Probably my favorite out of this series, very inspiring to play. I find it to be exceptionally woody, focused, punchy, raw and quick decaying. Super light and comfortable to hold sitting or standing (without a strap). Thank you Shawn McCullough for helping me choose this 0-18. An unexpected gem!

Beautiful and Sweet

I use this Martin O-18 guitar for playing classical music. Because the standard models all have the nitrocellulose finish on the the top,back,side. I bought the StageWork guitar support. Suction cups will not stick to any nitrocellulose finish. This guitar is easy to play anywhere on the fretboard. The timbre colors are beautiful, harmonics are sweet,the sustain is outstanding.… read more I play this guitar in the classical position sitting.

Enjoyable small body guitar

I just wanted a more manageable size guitar for longer sessions. The added bonus has been the tone, growl, rumble and effortless playability.

Beautiful Instrument

I'm a producer by trade, and primarily a keyboard player. I've always been around guitar players and had beater acoustics around me, and wanted to have something during quarantine that would take me outside of the screen and away from my usual scope. Enter this gorgeous 0-18. This instrument lets me express my musical ideas in a different way than any other instrument I've tried… read more before. Chord progressions just fall out of the thing. Small enough to curl up on our tiny sofa and jam, with a tone that projects further than I thought was possible out of such a tiny guitar when picked. Switch to fingerpicking and you get something incredibly round and warm. Recording-wise, it shines. Robust low end, but not boomy at all; frequencies I typically roll off on acoustic guitars are already tamed. Low stock on many of the guitars I was looking at forced my hand to this one, but with all options on the table I would definitely choose this again. Getting the LR Baggs Anthem installed as soon as businesses open back up so I can lay down quick ideas wherever I am. Thanks Nitish, you rule.

Love at First Sight

I'm a Martin guy! I have been wanting a smaller Martin guitar to play fingerstyle. I saw this Martin o-18 here at Sweetwater and I had 4 to choose from. I was excited to pick the one that was speaking to me without ever playing it. Online it is a beautiful guitar but when I received it and unpackaged its true beauty. The playing of this guitar feels so hand in glove and sounds so… read more good I felt a tingle inside. The guitar spoke to my soul the same way it spoke to me the day I met my wife - Love at First Sight. I absolutely would recommend this guitar, the Martin o-18 made from the oldest and best guitar maker in the world.
