Carefully selected tonewood combination for phenomenal tone
The Martin 00-18 Authentic 1931 is built from highly prized tonewoods. Full of warmth and liveliness, you'll love the bright, responsive sound of this guitar's genuine mahogany back and sides. On top of that, the 00-18 Authentic 1931 is topped with solid Adirondack spruce, adding crisp and clear overtones to an already exquisite tone. Widely used on pre-war and vintage instruments, the clarity of Adirondack is unrivaled. At Sweetwater, we were believers after the first strum!
Vintage Tone System (VTS) for aged appearance and tonality
Martin's unique torrifaction process, called Vintage Tone System (VTS), allows their guitar builders to age the tops and bracing of their instruments to specific time periods, bringing out the character that an instrument from that year would likely possess. On top of that, Martin's Vintage Gloss Finish (which is applied by hand) also adds the warm glow appearance that you'd expect from a vintage acoustic guitar. In short, Martin's VTS provides you with the historic tones and visual aesthetics that were previously reserved for vintage instruments.
