This 1958 Martin 00-18 has seen extensive professional restoration and is now a solid, great-sounding vintage player. While far from original, it retains the soul and character of a golden-era Martin and is ready for many more years of music-making.
The guitar has had a replacement top, full refinish, replacement bridge, re-fret, replacement tuners, new bridge plate, and replaced pick guard. All work was done with a focus on structural integrity, tone, and playability rather than collector value.
Despite the changes, this 00-18 still offers the woody warmth and responsiveness these small-bodied Martins are known for. It plays smoothly with a comfortable neck and has a clear, articulate tone that works beautifully for finger style, blues, or light strumming.
If you're looking for a vintage Martin with history, vibe, and excellent playability may be the perfect fit. A true working musician’s guitar. Comes with the original hardshell case.
