  • Description: 1956 Martin 000-18 Serial # 149024. This mid-1950's 000-18 is a very fine instrument in all three major categories: tone, playability, and looks. No cracks and no real wear - just a few dings here and there as are evident in the photos provided. This one had its neck reset and refretted by our hands a few years back; it's completely original, except for the bone saddle and frets, and it's ready to play. A two owner instrument, this 000-18 has obviously been very well cared for throughout its life, and shows its thanks with a beautifully developed voice. We've set the guitar up with fingerstyle action and light gauge strings. Sitka top, Mahogany back and sides, Brazilian rosewood board and full height bridge. Original tuners, ivory nut, and bridge/end pins. 24.9" scale length, 1-11/16" nut width. A lovely package, with its original hard-shell case, strap, and some case goodies.
