Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Martin’s right-handed 00-18 Standard pairs a Grand Concert body with solid Sitka spruce and solid mahogany. Its GE Modified Low Oval neck, High Performance Taper, and 24.9-inch scale give the player a compact layout for chord changes and detailed passages. Scalloped X-bracing is part of the design, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut, and compensated bone saddle complete the acoustic-only build. A hardshell case is supplied for carrying and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle parts and strummed accompaniment where a Grand Concert body and balanced voice suit the arrangement.
- Players wanting a 24.9-inch-scale acoustic with a GE Modified Low Oval neck profile.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need onboard electronics, as this model has none.
- Left-handed players seeking a factory left-handed instrument.
