1952 Martin 5-18
Otherwise knows as a Terz, German for 'third', the small guitar is generally tuned a minor third up from standard pitch (the low string is a G) with standard gauge strings.
Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and standard style 18 trim. Neck reset, new saddle, repaired pickguard crack and top center-seam by our shop a couple of years back. We needed to look up the repair work order to determine if we had replaced the bridge and bridge plate -- we couldn't tell. They look completely original, even to the repairperson who did the work, it turns out!
1-5/8" nut, round neck. Orignal tuners, nut, finish, bridgepins. A lovely guitar, with a great vibe and perfect playability.
With original chipboard case
