Martin 00-18 202684 (1965)
Vintage
A 14-fret 00 isn't normally thought of as a flatpicking guitar, but this one can more than hold its own in a jam. It's a great old-time rhythm guitar, and doubles beautifully for fingerstyle vocal accompaniment.
We'd call the guitar's overall condition "very good" for its age. The bridge and bridgeplate have been replaced (the bridge replacement was just completed in our shop). One crack in the treble side was also just repaired in our shop. The setup is good; and as mentioned, this guitar handles flatpicking or fingerpicking easily.
Priced with a period hardshell case.
