Martin 000-18 1957, Natural

This 1957 Martin 000-18 comes in natural finish and has aged gracefully, with beautiful lacquer checking across the top and a fairly clean overall appearance. It’s been well cared for over the years, with thoughtful maintenance that includes a neck reset, refret, new saddle, and upgraded tuners—all done to keep it playing at its best while respecting its vintage integrity. The mahogany and spruce construction delivers that classic dry, woody tone—balanced, clear, and responsive, with the kind of articulation these mid-century 000s are known for. It feels lively and open, with plenty of headroom and warmth. A solid example of a late-'50s Martin that’s ready for the long haul.
