That's a classic Martin 18 style look! Simply elegant, elegantly simple.

I love the 000 size (I like the 00, too). I played a zillion flattops over the last couple of years while trying to figure out what to replace my Gibson dread with, and almost pulled the trigger on a 00013-E before deciding on a GJ guitar. If I ever get another flattop (I do miss that sound), it'll probably be some flavor of 000 size.

Happy NGD!
I have a 000-15 that I absolutely love. At the time, the 15 series was the cheap line. It's about 20 years old now and really sounds nice. I had to sell it after a divorce in '07 but tracked it down and bought it back a few years later. I've thought about getting a 'nicer' 000 or OM style, but I'm not sure I would actually like it any more than the 000-15.

BTW my fiancee's BIL HAD a D-18 and also has one of these laminate Martins, which either has a Fishman pickup system or he had it installed, I can't remember.
Anyway, when he used to play gigs he always took his laminate Martin and never played his D-18, which I think he eventually sold. He thought the laminate was just a great all-around guitar.
He also has a 1964 Gibson ES-335 in Cherry Red with a Bigsby, which he has been trying for years to sell on consignment, but so far no luck. (PM me if you're interested--if you have to ask how much he wants for it, you can't afford it.)

I have an SP000C-16R that I bought new in the mid '90s. Great guitar. Needs some attention so it is only guitar that I have that is in its case and not on my racks for daily playing. Possibly needs a neck reset which breaks my heart. It looks like this one.

I got one of those Taylor GS-Mini mahoganies last year. 23.5” scale with a 1 11/16” nut. While the volume of this small guitar is impressive the the tone is not. There isn’t any. At all.
Looking at small guitars for a couch finger picker. I’ll check these out.

My first brand-new guitar was a Toredo 000-18 style laminate w/adjustable bridge that sold for a bit over a c-note back in 1974. Strung it up with 13s and just had a great time. Wrote alot of songs with it, carried it everywhere I went and got to meet some people.
FF to 2011 and the week after I bought my first new Martin (a dreadnought w/cutaway and onboard electronics) I went back with the intent of getting a 000-18. The one they had was identical to yours but unfortunately the action was a good 1/2" at the 12th fret, so no go. The alert salesperson steered me to a GE D-18 with which I've been very happy.
But a 000-18, to me, remains THE acoustic guitar. Congratulations, and play it in good health!

A few years ago, I tried small with long scale via a cheap Recording King parlor. Now that guitar I still like quite a bit, but I was longing for something that felt small but sounded bigger.
Finally, a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon this guitar. Went back and forth in my mind about "needing" another guitar, as I surely didn't...but in the end want won out

Retail therapy indeed!
Sweet 000!!!
My first 'nice' acoustic was an early 2000 Martin 000 GTE. Sold it to a friend to raise funds for another gitfiddle. Every time we speak, he tells me how much he loves the Martin I sold him. Dam, I miss that 000.
Play it in good health...even after the pan dammit is over.

Yeah man! Lovely playing, sounds great. Extra points for being a thumb wrapper.
