Description
The 1918 Martin-made Ditson 0-18 is a compact yet resonant parlor guitar with a deep-bodied design, enhancing its warmth and projection. It features a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, delivering a balanced and woody tone characteristic of early Martin craftsmanship. The guitar's unique build gives it a bold voice despite its small size. Repaired and maintained with careful attention to its original charm (pop over to our specs tab for full repair history), this vintage instrument remains a rare and beautiful example of early American guitar making.
Includes modern Waterloo hard shell 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.
