1955 Martin 000-18

A grand old lady from Martin's most consistent period. This guitar has recently received a neck reset, new frets and a new exact replica Brazilianrosewood bridge in our shop. It plays perfectly, and is currently set up for fingerstyle playing. A very balanced tone, articulate, clean and dry, withfull trebles and even basses. It features some honest playwear on the top, and has a standard pickguard crack and a couple of other cracks that werewell repaired long ago. The back has two tight repaired cracks about 4" in length and there is one small ding on the side under the player's right armwhich has been filled with lacquer. The appearance of the guitar is very good and the guitar has never been abused. It has the original tuners, whichwork nicely and look great, and an original ivory nut. 24.9" scale length, 1-21-32" nut width.
On Consignment, with newer Deluxe TKL hard case.
