With a size based on the earlier Terz design, these small bodies Martin models were popular during the 50's and early 60's thanks to the students and singer songwriters. Despite it being so small, these guitars sound great and are built with the same craftsmanship and quality of any larger sized model from Martin at the time. Besides replaced bridge pins, this guitar is all original. It sports a 11 1/4" in lower bout and a compact 21 3/8" in scale length. This particular 5-18 sounds great and is in excellent shape.
