Description

Here's a 1950's/1960's era Martin 000-18 in Natural finish. Quite the rare and interesting piece here! The model is on the neck block, but with no serial number. Rather, it has RD written in red ink, and C.F Martin "Not to be sold" on the inside. These were designated as a test/prototype/sampler run guitars that sales reps would loan to stores, or they'd go to employees. You can research and find other examples out there. The guitar itself is an just outstanding vintage 000-18. No breaks, cracks, repairs. Comfortable V profile neck shape, that plays great! Tonally it's full, balanced, and clear. Really sounds fantastic. 1st time we've had one of these in.....super cool! HSC..
