This 1944 Martin 0-18 is a true player-grade vintage piece with tons of character and a strong, lively voice. Despite its smaller body size, it delivers impressive projection and clarity, with a focused high end, tight low end, and a beautifully sweet, balanced midrange. This guitar has seen a number of professional repairs and restorations over the years, including a retop (NOS Spruce cut in '64) , refret, neck reset, replacement bridge and nut, new tuners, a strap button installation, linen, 2 cleats, and several crack repairs. All work has been done to keep the instrument functional and sounding its best. Thanks to this thoughtful restoration, it plays effortlessly with comfortable low action and is ready for many more years of making music. Includes a hard case.
