Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built in a left-handed orientation, the 000-18 Standard brings a spruce top and mahogany back and sides to Martin’s 000-14 Fret format. The 24.9-inch short scale and GE Modified Low Oval neck shape put its playing layout at the center of the design. An ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut, compensated bone saddle, and GE-scalloped X-brace round out the construction. The guitar arrives with a hardshell case for transport and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed singer-songwriters accompanying vocals with a 000-size acoustic.
- Fingerpicking or strumming on a short-scale acoustic with 1-3/4-inch nut width.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players, because this is the left-handed version.
