Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 1969 Martin 00-18 Acoustic Guitar finished in Natural. The Martin 00-18 has long been regarded as one of the finest small-body acoustics ever produced, offering remarkable balance, responsiveness, and warmth in a comfortable, easy-to-hold package. This 1969 example has matured beautifully over more than five decades, delivering the open, woody voice and effortless playability that only a vintage Martin can provide. Whether fingerpicked or flatpicked, the 00-18 remains one of the most versatile acoustic guitars ever built.
Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, this guitar produces a focused, articulate tone with rich mids, sparkling trebles, and surprising projection for its compact size. Years of natural aging have allowed the wood to fully open up, resulting in exceptional responsiveness and dynamic range. The guitar has also been fitted with an LR Baggs soundhole pickup, making it stage-ready while preserving its classic acoustic character.
Professionally maintained over the years, this Martin has received a neck reset and bridge reset, ensuring excellent playability and proper geometry. It remains structurally sound and offers strong projection with healthy saddle height above the bridge, making it an outstanding vintage player with decades of life ahead.
This guitar comes complete with a Hardshell Case (HSC).
Condition: 9/10 - Very Good. Structurally excellent with professional maintenance including a neck reset and bridge reset. There is one small repaired and cleated crack on the lower bout near the output jack. The top shows various dings and honest cosmetic wear consistent with a well-loved vintage instrument. Overall, a wonderful vintage Martin with excellent tone and playability.
