Martin Joe Bonamassa 00-18 - 1937 joe bonamassa sunburst
The MARTIN 00-18 Joe Bonamassa is inspired by the original 1937 00-18 that belonged to a major blues-rock artist.
If you love those intimate, typically vintage tones—warm and subtle—this will be the ideal instrument for blues or Americana styles, whether you’re a fingerstyle player or a strummer
This 00 14-Fret / Grand Concert with a short 24.9" scale features a solid Sitka spruce top, a solid mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard.
The ebony fingerboard subtly and naturally compresses the sound, adding clarity that can be particularly valuable in certain musical contexts.
This combination of features, along with the carved Golden Era X-bracing, produces a sound that is both warm and clear, with thick, precise bass, rich mids, and generous highs.
Its acoustic volume is remarkable given its modest 00-size dimensions.
The “1937 Joe Bonamassa Sunburst” finish authentically recreates the vintage appearance of Bonamassa’s pre-war vintage model.
