Frequently Asked Questions
The 0018 is more focused and articulate, lacking the booming low-end of a dreadnought, but offering greater clarity for intricate fingerpicking.
Primarily aesthetic, but the tortoise material is a thin layer of plastic; it has minimal impact on the overall tone compared to solid wood.
Martin's factory setup is generally good, but a professional setup with a competent luthier can further optimize playability and intonation for your personal preferences.
