Description

Here at Carter Vintage we are lucky enough to come across some of the rarest, best sounding and most exceptional instruments around. This Martin is a nod to why they have such a legacy in the world of guitars. This OM-18 is well balanced across every note and every chord. Few guitars are as effective and enjoyable as mahogany OM's. These guitars share a volume for any playing occasion and an articulate tone that is enjoyed in any playing style.

The bass side rim has several small repaired cracks (one of them with three cleats), a 2" x 1/8th" patch, and has been refinished. It also has two repaired back cracks, light overspray on the back, rims and area of the top near the lower bass edge with a neck set, re-fret, replaced saddle, and replaced bridge pins.

Includes its original hard shell 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.
