Description

This late-1938 00-18 sounds so crisp and sweet thanks to its aged Adirondack top with scalloped rear-shifted X-bracing. As a pre-war Martin, this is grail worthy; and with its previous refinish work, an affordable option. The woods on this are some of the hardest to come by in modern building: Gaboon Ebony, Honduran Mahogany, Adirondack Spruce, and a Brazilian Rosewood headstock veneer. Craftsmen expertly put this together nearly 90 years ago; it's still surviving!
