Item Description

Martin 1997 00-18 CTM (no260812)

Based on the authentic "00-18" style, this is a higher-grade model custom-ordered for the Japanese market, featuring the selection of higher-quality wood and upgraded details.

While many vintage replica CTM (=CUSTOM) models feature "square rods," this instrument has an "adjustable rod," which is highly valued by users who prefer precise neck settings.

The small body with a 14-fret joint is just the right size for the average Japanese person and easy to handle. While it's primarily suited for fingerpicker styles, it also looks great in a living room at home, and would be lovely for a woman to use for singing and playing.

Although there are some scratches and minor blemishes on the thin, delicate lacquer finish, the neck is perfectly straight, the rod works without any problems, and despite its small size, the high-quality materials and 28 years of aging allow you to enjoy a responsive and resonant sound.

Although barely noticeable to the naked eye, the vertical lines on the back of the body are minor wood cracks along the internal neck block, which have been repaired by our partner repair shop and there are absolutely no concerns about structural integrity.

The string height is approximately 2.0mm at the 1st string and 3.0mm at the 6th string at the 12th fret, and there is plenty of saddle height remaining, offering great flexibility in setting up. Of course, there is no history of wood damage repair. A perfectly sized genuine hardshell case is included.
