000's are arguably the most versatile and comfortable size that Martin made, and the 000-18 series with mahogany back and sides make it the most audibly pleasing across the sound spectrum; mahogany is known for its dry/woody warmth. Each year of Martin has slightly different batches of aged spruce available to them, there are no hard cutoffs. But, this one from 1955 has some of the most interesting bear claw figuring we have seen. The guitar can do it all. This example is in great condition for its age: neck reset, bridge reglue, refret, and replacement pins. If you dream of having only one vintage guitar that will keep you satisfied for life, you should consider this one!
