Martin 000-18 1952 – Vintage Tone, Unmatched Character
This incredible 1952 Martin 000-18 has just arrived, and from the very first notes, we were blown away by its huge, open sound. It’s the kind of guitar that instantly captivates—rich in tone, deeply resonant, and incredibly dynamic.
Built during the golden era of post-war Martin craftsmanship, this guitar embodies everything that makes vintage Martins so sought after today. During this period, Martin was creating guitars with no commercial compromises—delicate yet powerful instruments made from the finest first-growth tonewoods. Every detail was meticulously hand-built, resulting in a guitar that truly stands the test of time.
The mahogany back and sides are beautifully aged, perfectly complementing the spruce top, which has matured into a tone machine. These guitars from the early ‘50s are among the finest that Martin has ever produced—a testament to the brand’s legendary consistency over the past century.
This guitar is in player’s grade condition, with four well-repaired cracks on the top while the rest of the body remains crack-free. The nut width is 43mm, offering a comfortable and familiar feel for most players.
Tonally, this 1952 Martin 000-18 is an absolute dream. With a warm, aged resonance, it delivers crystal-clear trebles, rich mids, and a tight, punchy bass response. Whether played fingerstyle or with a flat pick, it responds beautifully, offering incredible depth, balance, and projection. The dynamic range is astonishing, making it a perfect companion for fingerpickers while also handling strumming and flatpicking with ease.
This is one of those guitars that, once played, is impossible to put down.
The guitar comes with a newer hardshell case for protection and safe transport.
A true vintage masterpiece, ready to inspire its next owner.
