Description

This 1955 Martin 000-18 is a beautifully preserved example of a golden-era Martin, featuring a solid mahogany back and sides paired with a spruce top for a warm, balanced tone with excellent clarity and articulation. Its comfortable 000 body size and short scale make it a joy to play, especially for fingerstyle and light flatpicking. With its original finish, tortoiseshell pickguard, and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, this vintage gem captures the timeless craftsmanship and tone that define mid-'50s Martins. For the full repair history, check out the Specs tab. Includes a non-original hardshell case
