Description

This remarkably rare 1947 00-18 is an exciting piece of Martin history with a crisp pronounced tone and a stunning shade top finish. It remains largely untouched, with a handful of thoughtful repairs to keep it in playing shape. It's undergone a great neck reset and refret for a very comfortable playing experience. The full list of repairs is over on our specs tab. Cosmetically, it's in very good shape for its age with minor finish wear and a reglued back crack. These late 40s Martins really are some of the best out there. This one has a swell tone and mic's like nobody's business.

Includes vintage chipboard case.
