Description

This 1941 0-18 was made before WWII, but looks like it was quickly drafted to fight the next 4 years in it. The "Specs" tab outlines what work was done to it prior to finding its way to our shop. While heavily repaired to remain playable, this little Martin has a lot of character and has a sweet sound when fingerpicked. It's a very comfortable size that would make a great companion for a songwriter.Comes in original case in poor condition.
