1970 Martin 0-18 Natural Good Condition w Hardshell Case
For your consideration is a 1970 Martin 0-18 in natural finish, in good cosmetic and playing condition.
Included is a hard case that fits the guitar well.
I will have my Luthier do a full setup on this guitar before shipping it out.
Strung with my favorite acoustic strings, Thomastik AC111, a perfect compliment to this guitar.
This guitar shows playwear throughout but no cracks or breaks in the wood.
No neck reset needed, as the guitar plays really well with low and easy action. And there's a bit of saddle to work with.
Signs point to a replaced bridge, and the usual slight upward swell behind the bridge and a minor dip in front of it. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Frets show some wear but lots of life left.
Tuners are original and holding tune, and the pickguard looks to be original as well.
Missing the endpin button.
The back of the neck from about the 7th to the 10th fret has some heavy wear but nothing that hinders playability (please see pics). This neck is worn and fast.
The pickguard is lifting slightly near the bridge. It's difficult to show in pics, and Is stable and not in need of replacing or repair.
The guitar is wide open, and sounds just as you'd hope a vintage 0-18 would sound, with a warm and woody midrange sweetness that only these smaller Martins can produce, and that just gets better with age.
This one is so fun to play.
***please note the 1930s Pre-War Geib "Challenge" model is not included with the guitar unless upon request, and worked out with the buyer. The case was photographed with the guitar by mistake. It fits it well, and I'm happy to include for a fair price.
Please see the last few pics for the hardcase included with the sale. It's structurally sound and will protect the guitar in shipping.
Will be packed with extreme care, detuned, and fully insured, for a safe journey.
Please ask any and all questions. Thanks for looking!
