The Small Bodied Classic

Introducing a valuable addition to the renowned Standard Series - the 0-18 acoustic guitar. This model boasts of a concert-sized body with a scallop-braced Sitka spruce top, complemented by mahogany back and sides, providing a solid foundation for exceptional sound.

This parlor guitar features a modified low oval neck shape and high performance parallel taper, making it easy to play with a short 24.9" scale. The open geared nickel tuners, phosphor bronze strings, and ebony fingerboard and bridge provide a classic look and fast action.

The compact size of an 0 body paired with a spruce top provides the 0-18 with a distinctive tone, similar to an 00 or OM but with a more concise and focused sound. In standard tuning, it is strongly mid-range focused, sharp, and succinct, making it perfect for recording intricate fingerpicking patterns that require blending into the mix while still standing on their own. Super comfortable and surprisingly versatile, it really fits a lot of purposes. There's a reason that players as diverse as as Bob Dylan, Steve Earle and John Frusciante have favored this model.
