A "Style 18" Heritage in a Custom Shop 00 Format
This 00 Grand Concert adopts the clean aesthetic and signature wood combination of the "Style 18": spruce soundboard and mahogany body. The choice of figured woods and Custom Shop craftsmanship elevate this classic into a premium instrument designed for guitarists seeking a refined, responsive, and durable guitar.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Thanks to its short scale and 44.4 mm nut width, this 00 folk guitar suits intermediate to expert players, while remaining welcoming to discerning beginners. Its compact format and focus on midrange make it ideal for fingerstyle, picking, folk, acoustic blues, country, pop, and vocal accompaniment where clarity and precision are paramount.
Sound Characteristics
The Engelmann spruce offers a subtle response to light playing, with silky highs and a veil of harmonics flattering fingerpicking. The flamed mahogany back and sides provide controlled bass, woody midrange, and a crisp attack. The 00 format concentrates energy for focused projection, excellent note definition, and natural sustain-perfect for polyphonic arrangements and recordings where every nuance counts.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose phosphor bronze folk strings in gauges 12-54 (or 11-52 for an even softer feel), a folk guitar capo compatible with a 16" radius (or an adjustable pressure model), a case humidifier for wood stability, a strap with a lace for headstock attachment if no heel button is present, and a clip-on tuner.
