1939 C.F. Martin 00-18
Here's a great old workhorse from the 30's that is in great condition considering it's life in the fast lane. 30's Martins are the most desirable guitars on the planet and this is certainly one of them. The 00-18 is almost impossible to find from the late 30's so this is a real opportunity. Cracks here and there but nothing shocking or off putting, some playwear below the fingerboard extension is about what is worth mentioning. Interior has a few reglued braces and a new bridgeplate, typical of an almost 100 year old acoustic guitar.. And she is a fingerpickers dream with a tremendous voice thanks to the ebony board and bridge and the Adi top. Fat and ultimately woody with a dread sounding bottom end.....more like a J-45 believe it or not.. It's immensely resonant in its response when you put a flat pick to it. Just a great old Martin looking for a new gig in able hands !!
