Martin 00-18 Joe Bonamassa

A faithful recreation of a great 1937 00 owned by the blues-rock star.

Besides being one of the most successful contemporary blues-rock superstars, Joe Bonamassa is also known as a serious collector of vintage guitars. Several years ago, he worked with Martin on a limited-edition recreation of his prized 1941 000-45, and now the company has released a signature model based on his 1937 00-18. Featuring “Golden Era” vintage-style specs throughout, the 00-18 Joe Bonamassa even simulates the wear pattern found on Joe’s original guitar. In this video, Teja Gerken demonstrates the guitar in the Peghead Nation studio.
