Description

This 00-18H is one of the rarer models from this era of pre-war Martins. This particular 00 is in great structural condition, having undergone some significant restoration. The original finish shows almost a century of music played. The neck is worn in just enough that it feels like it’s taking you for a ride when you pick it up to play. Tonally, it effortlessly produces a voluminous, cohesive sound that many guitars just can't create without time behind them. Comes in a chipboard case.
