The 000C Steve Miller Pegasus Signature Edition clearly is a guitar built for comfort. This true 000 features the short 24.9" scale, which lowers string tension and shortens the distance between frets. The rounded Venetian cut-away provides easy access to the entire fingerboard. The OM width fingerboard (1-3/4" at the nut) and low oval neck enhance fretting ease. A chrome strap button and factory-installed non-invasive Fishman Ellipse Blend System electronics contribute to stage or studio-readiness right out of the case. Superb solid tonewoods throughout result in impressive tone. The top of Engelmann spruce, prized for quick response and rich timbre, features Martin's Hybrid scalloped bracing. The back and sides are crafted from solid quilted mahogany with lightly quilted figuring, while the neck is straight-grained genuine mahogany. nEnhancing the beauty of the woods are graceful inlays. A colorful abalone pearl rosette surrounds the soundhole, while fine-pattern herringbone purfling encircles the top. The backstrip features the multi-colored Style 45 mosaic, in this case bordered with fine black fiber lines. Both back and sides are bound with grained ivoroid and accented with black/white/black line inlays. Both the heelcap and end piece showcase matching grained ivoroid, the latter framed with black/white/black line inlays. nThe black African ebony fingerboard and headplate are bound with grained ivoroid and inset with black/white fine line inlays. The polished headplate showcases the exquisite "alternative" torch inlay, first used and abandoned in 1902, only to reappear nearly 100 years later on selected Martin Limited and Signature Editions (including Steve's first limited edition models). In keeping with Miller's preference, the fingerboard highlights the wood itself, unsullied by position markers or a signature.

The 000-18MC Martin Carthy Signature Edition guitar is an exact recreation of Carthy's own beloved 00018. Martin Carthy's forty years of music making in Britain have spanned traditional and contemporary genres, including solo, duo and group efforts. Solid mahogany neck, back and sides with a Sitka spruce top, 24.9" scale, modified V-shape neck, 1 3/4" width at the nut, ebony fingerboard and matching ebony bridge, old Style 18 rosette, black/white purfling and tortoise shell body binding, pearl dot fingerboard inlays, old style decal logo, and nickel-plated Waverly tuners with butterbean knobs. Also featured are a zero fret on the fingerboard below the nut and solid brass bridge pins on the three treble strings duplicating those on Carthy's guitar.
Inspired by a group of four very special prototypes made by Martin in 1902, these guitars had lavish but beautiful ornamentation and led to the introduction of the first Style 45 Martin guitars in 1904. Martin is excited to reissue a special 00-45s with specifications that closely replicate the original 1902 prototypes. Mass Street Music is proud to offer this guitar as part of our Martin family.
1953 Martin 00018. Normal playing wear. At one time, this guitar had a pickup, which has been uninstalled and the jack hole professionally plugged. Also has Grover open-geared tuners. s/n: 133188 USED
Only 30 of these will be made. Gorgeous straight grained Amazon Rosewood is mated to 42 style appointments and beautiful Italian Alpine Spruce. Forward shifted bracing and a modified vintage neck give this limited run guitar the quintessential Martin tone. This is number 11 of 30 and comes with the deluxe Geib style case. A very well balanced dreadnaught, with a wide dymamic range and smooth voice. Gold Waverly tuners come standard. A worthy piece in any Martin collection.
