I've been playing guitar for 30+ years now. This is the finest guitar I have ever played or owned. The tone you get from this guitar is simply incredible! Martin hit it out of the park with this one.

I've owned this guitar for two years now and it is buy far the best guitar I've ever owned. Great for blues because of the shorter scale bends are easy and the sound is fantastic. The only problem I've had with this guitar is keeping the guitar from drying out. I've owned a few guitars in the last 35 years and this one is always thirsty.

The Martin 000-18 GE (sunburst) is a pretty guitar– gorgeous wood with attractive tortoise color binding (photos don’t do it justice). Most importantly: it has one BEAUTIFUL voice– not bright and brassy, but rich and luscious– which sold me on this instrument. It has a carefully-tuned scale so it goes easily from one key to another without tweaking the tuning. Nicely playable as built - mine needed no adjusting.

Awsome reproduction of the famous Golden Era Martin. I have only owned this guitar for three months, but you can already tell it is going to mature into a fantastic axe. It's loud, vibrant and tonefull.

played very well with good ring and the tone was real decent, the neck was true and the price was right, so what else is there a person should expect from a good instrument?
