SOLD - Martin 00-18 1953
$0.00Good lord, this one just kills it! The guitar is incredibly light and immensely toneful. It is free of cracks, and we've done all the work you might expect a 70 year old guitar to need.
This 00 came in with the standard vintage Martin issues: bridge slightly lifting, worn frets, and in need of a neck re-set.
Also performed was the filling of a very small hole by the endpin. Frets are period correct. The original nut remained. Original Kluson tuners, nut, pickguard, and bridge remained. The only other "issue" is some finish peeling on the headstock in the area of the logo.

The original chip case has seen better days, with a broken hinge and plenty of wear. We will wrap the guitar with care, then double box the case for shipment.
You're going to love this one, and we're going to hate seeing it go!
