Martin 00-18V from Martin's discontinued Vintage Series, with the distinctive soft V neck profile. Bought new from Peach Guitars in 2016 - original receipt included.

A beautiful-sounding guitar – warm, balanced and remarkably full for a 00-sized instrument. It has been professionally set up and the action is superb: low and comfortable, with effortless playability all the way up the neck.

The V neck doesn't suit everyone, but I have small hands and I love it. Not only is it more comfortable than a skinny modern neck, I'm convinced that it enhances the sound

The guitar is in near-perfect condition overall. There is a cluster of three small marks to the top and a light mark on the back, neither of which is deep or detracts noticeably from its appearance. Both are shown in the photographs.

The binding is all intact and secure.

No fretwear.

It comes with the original endpin (strap button). I just never bothered to fit it. I'll also throw in a new set of John Pearse strings.

Most importantly, this guitar sounds incredible and plays beautifully.

Comes with the original Martin case, where it has always been kept.

Price just reduced for a quick sale.

UK collection only – I don't want to entrust a guitar of this quality to a courier. I'm happy to consider any reasonable arrangement to meet part-way, depending on location.

Potential buyers are very welcome to come and play it before buying.
