Condition NotesGiven all the repairs it is stable and in good condition. Showing signs of dings and scratches throughout. Visible signs of finish reaction on the back and top next to finger board extension (bass side). Sounds and plays great.
This 1952 Martin 00-18 has that unmistakable vintage feel and a warm, intimate voice that makes these smaller-bodied Martins so special. It feels incredibly comfortable in the hands, with an easy, natural response that works beautifully for fingerpicking, light strumming, and more expressive playing. The tone is woody and balanced, with a sweet, clear top end, warm mids, and a surprising amount of depth and projection for a 00-size guitar. It has the relaxed, broken-in sound of a well-aged instrument and responds effortlessly to the player. The guitar shows dings and scratches throughout, along with visible finish reaction on the back and top next to the fingerboard extension on the bass side. It is stable, plays great, and sounds fantastic. For the full list of repairs, please refer to the Specs tab.

Comes with Martin labeled TKL Hardshell case.
