Description

This 1957 Martin 00-18 has had some work done over the years, most notably a top refinish and overspray on the neck — which means the guitar presents very clean for its age. Additional work includes a replaced pickguard, replaced bridge, B-string crack repair, bridge plate reglue, neck reset, and a fret level, all of which points to a guitar that's been maintained and played rather than shelved. The 00-18 in this era is a mahogany-and-spruce X-braced fingerpicker's guitar at its core — light, responsive, and easy to love at low volumes. The neck reset and fret work mean it's set up and ready to go. A genuinely good playing guitar at a price that reflects the finish work.

Includes modern hard shell case.
