Description

This is a superb example of a pre-war Martin OM-18, demonstrating why Martin guitars are held in such high regard. Few instruments are as satisfying and versatile as mahogany OM models, and this 1932 version is no exception. It’s set up with medium action, offering a very comfortable playing experience. Its well-balanced tone projects beautifully, whether played fingerstyle or with a flatpick. The guitar has received several professional repairs, giving it a new lease on life—details of which can be found under the Specs tab. It comes with a non-original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
