Description

This 1948 Martin 000-18 is a remarkable post-war example, featuring a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge. With its 24.9" short scale and comfortable neck profile, it offers a warm, balanced tone with clear mids and a woody, articulate voice. A classic small-bodied Martin with the resonance and character only decades of aging can bring. In addition to being refinished, this example has undergone several thoughtful repairs to ensure its playability for years to come. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes a hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
