{"product_id":"1947-martin-000-18-696","title":"1947 Martin 000-18","description":"100525.  A very lightly built early post-war 000-18 in excellent condition; you'd be hard pressed to find a late '40's 000 anywhere near as nice as this one.  Essentially crack-free (there is a small 1\" side crack) this guitar is well-preserved and has evidently been well cared for throughout its life. We have neck-setted and refretted the guitar as we always do, and offer it to you in ready-to-play condition; the set up is for fingerstyle playing.  Sitka top, Mahogany sides and back.  Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, tortoise-shell celluloid binding, original bridge and end pins and open-geared Kluson tuners.  Original ivory nut (1-11\/16\" wide) and new bone saddle.  Very little finish wear except on the instrument's back where some minor surficial belt scratching can be seen.  The instrument has the snap and dryness that good 000-18's are famous for, with fine balance and rich harmonic overtones.  A lovely instrument.\u003cbr\u003eWith 1940's Epiphone-branded Lifton HSC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"C.F.
