Get Pre-War Era Inspired Featured And A Sitka Spruce Top With The Martin 000-18 Acoustic Guitar
Carrying a distinct vintage-inspired design and updated like the D-18 a few years ago, the redesigned Martin 000-18 offers many of the features found in their pre-war era guitars. The Martin 000-18, which has a beautiful aging toned top in Sitka spruce, is married with genuine mahogany back and sides. The body is edged with tortoise binding and complemented with a polished finish. The 24.9“ï“ç’Ñ short scale model“ï“ç“ûs neck features a modified low oval profile with Performing Artist taper, with a width of 1-3/4“ï“ç’Ñ at the nut and 2-3/16“ï“ç’Ñ string spacing for easy playability. Nickel open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs are found with a rosewood headplate, which displays a large old style Martin logo.
Playability Enhanced
The Plek Pro has been developed for use in guitar production factories as a tool that not only does precise fret dressing, but also helps with quality control and R & D. This computer controlled device scans and dresses a guitar under actual playing conditions, strung and tuned to pitch or using precise string tension emulation. This is a major breakthrough since the Plek Pro identifies precisely what needs to be done for perfect fretwork, executes this rapidly, and delivers perfect results on the instrument when strung.
The Plek Pro speeds up the production process and raises the quality of instruments to an extremely high and consistent level.
