MARTIN GPC-18E
Purchased for a project and is no longer needed. Selling now to fund a studio investment, so view and then shoot me an offer!
Professional setup March 2023, had new bridge saddle and ebony saddle pins installed. This guitar plays as it is designed to. The electronics were tested and function as designed.
I have done my best to capture this instrument's condition in the pictures. Beautiful example, ready for you to play.
Specifics: this guitar has been played so it has an understandable (normal) amount of small scratches, etc. - this includes two small blemish areas from on the back from a guitar stand which had a faulty glue holding the stand’s padded strip on. Over time, this caused the blemishes, which I have done my best to illustrate in the photos. Second, as is common for this era at Martin Guitars – there is binding separation at the waist. Both issues are totally in the skill set of a guitar repair technician. This guitar plays like a dream, because the blemishes don’t affect the guitar’s function. I have priced this instrument accordingly and will scoff in the general direction of and maybe even harrumph at the folks who send low ball offers! :-)
This guitar is sold “AS-IS”, no returns accepted.
