Description
This amazing Martin 000-18 1952 just came in … the first time we tuned and played it, we were blown away by the huge and open sound of it.
In this time short after the war Martin created wonderful guitars – that are highly sought after today. It was an era where the guitars were built with no commercial consideration whatsoever … they were thin and used the finest first growth tonewoods. Entirely hand built from every perspective. Beautiful mahogany sides and back and a very nice spruce top – makes this guitar to a canon. The guitars of theses period are of the finest of what Martin has produced in all of these years … and that says something with the quality that they have put out over the last 100+ years.
This guitar is in players grade condition. The top has 4 repaired cracks. The rest of the guitar is crack free. It has received a neck reset and plays like butter. The action is at 2.4 mm E and 1.9 mm e. The saddle of the bridge has room left for further adjustments. The nut width is 43 mm.
This fantastic sounding Martin 000-18 1952 could easily become a finger pickers best friend, with a nice classic well aged tone and a responsive body. Lots of volume, dynamic and with singing melody strings, this has a nice defined tone that would work wonderfully for the right finger style player – and certainly opening up well with a flat pick.
This is one of those: to play it is to want to own it !! guitars.
It comes with newer guitar case.
