Description

This Martin 0-18 is an incredibly rare Shadetop from 1940! It's a fingerpicker's dream, with remarkably responsive, defined tone. Cosmetically, it's in decent shape for its age, with wear throughout - most notably along the bottom. Its playability is perfect thanks to a wonderful neck reset and new bridge. Check out our specs tab for its full list of repairs and modifications.

Includes OHSC.

*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.
