The 00-18 Joe Bonamassa features a solid spruce top that replicates the visual wear of Joe’s prized pre-war 1937 00-18—paired with genuine mahogany back and sides for warm, balanced tone in a comfortable 00 body.

The 00-18 Joe Bonamassa marks Martin’s second collaboration with the blues-rock superstar, inspired by his prized pre-war 1937 00-18. Its solid spruce top features a custom sunburst that replicates the visual wear of Joe’s original instrument—capturing the look of a well-played vintage classic while delivering modern reliability. Paired with genuine mahogany back and sides, it offers warm bass, punchy midrange, and articulate treble response in a comfortable 00 body size that’s ideal for blues, folk, and fingerstyle playing. Golden Era scalloped X-bracing enhances vintage-inspired resonance and sustain, while details like faux tortoise binding and a GE Modified Low Oval neck with standard taper provide a familiar feel rooted in pre-war tradition. Built to capture the spirit of one of Joe’s most treasured Martins, it’s a blues-ready 00 that invites you to dig in and make it your own.
