1970 Martin 000-18

Serial # 258567. 000's from the 1960's and 1970's are very uncommon - Dreadnaught production out-numbered 000's by a ratio of ten to one, so stumbling across a nice forty year old 000 doesn't happen too frequently. This 000-18 was finished early in 1970, and features Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, 60's Grover tuners, an ivory nut, and a nice small Brazilian rosewood bridge plate. It's a lovely guitar, in excellent and original condition, with very fine tone and playability. No cracks, no issues. Very nice lacquer finish with very few nicks and scratches. The bridge has been lowered a little bit, and the action is a very comfortable 5 to 7 64ths. There is room enough on the saddle to lower the action further, should you desire. 24.9" scale length, 1-11/16" nut. Sitka spruce top, mahogany back, sides, and neck; Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay. A fine sounding guitar, very warm, woody and well balanced; and a good fingerpicker.
With hard shell case
