Description

This 1930 Martin 000-18 12-fret is a remarkable piece of pre-war craftsmanship, offering the dry, punchy voice and wide dynamic range that have made these early 000s so coveted. Built with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it has all the warmth and clarity you'd expect from a golden-era Martin, with a responsiveness that rewards a light touch. It’s had a number of professional repairs and updates over the years, including a neck reset, refret, replacement tuners, replacement bridge, saddle, and pins, as well as repaired cracks on the bottom, bass-side lower bout side, and end pin area. The top has been fully oversprayed, with additional overspray on the repaired bottom crack. Structurally sound and a joy to play, this guitar carries the voice of the era with the stability needed for everyday use.

Include vintage green-lined hard shell case.
