Product information

This 1975 Martin 000-18 was recently acquired from its original owner. It's amazing that this guitar is now fifty years old! The finish shines like new, and the guitar looks mostly untouched. It's a strong-sounding example of a 70's Martin, with plenty of punch for a flatpicker, and a beautifully opened-up voice for a fingerpicker.

As mentioned, this guitar is very clean, and shows no structural damage. The original pickguard was replaced by our shop; and the neck was just reset here as well. The action measures 3/32" (bass side) and 2/32" (treble side) under tension of light strings, with ample saddle height for future adjustments. Priced with its original Martin thermoplastic hard case.
