1947 Martin 00-18

1947 Martin 00-18

Everything is all there and all original with absolutely no refinish or over spray or any funny business what so ever. Even the original tuners appear to never have been off this guitar! Has a few character scratches and some pick wear, but no gouges and is Totally Crack Free! Clean original and unmolested bridge plate and never the need for any structural repairs either, other than our neck set and new bone saddle.  Impeccable work performed by David Hatchard of Exeter New Hampshire which included a professional set up.

The unusual and rare to see grain ribboning (or is it bear claw?) of the Sitka spruce top is absolutely stunning! The braces are 40s tapered. It passed the magnet test for a T Bar truss rod in the neck. S/N 102696 places this guitar approx mid 1947. Quite a comfy neck with 1 11/16″ original ivory nut and action set at 3-2 with proper string break and perfect intonation.

Very focused rich Martin tone and sweetness. This is another one of those Martins you can actually feel the body shimmer when you play it.

Offered in a proper fitting vintage style tweed or black hard case  .

Enjoy Danielle’s and David’s videos!
