This limited-edition Custom Shop 000-18 blends the vintage soul of a 1937-style build with the warmth and depth of sinker mahogany and the power of an Adirondack spruce top. It features Authentic 1937 bracing, a hide glue dovetail neck joint, and an adjustable truss rod for modern reliability. The tone is rich and balanced right out of the case—and only gets better with age. With just 50 available, it’s a beautifully crafted nod to tradition, designed for serious players who appreciate history in every detail.
