Martin 0-18

1926

An absolutely phenomenal century-old Martin. It’s incredibly easy to play, it has a 47mm neck at the nut with a very comfortable V-shaped profile. It’s an instrument you won’t want to put down. The sound is incredible, everything is there, it’s deep and warm. It’s something special. It weighs nothing: 1.3 kg!! I don’t remember having a Martin this light. The construction is really simple, the bracing is minimal, yet it holds well and, above all, it sounds great! Over the last century, it was equipped with a pickguard that has since been removed but is included. The small holes have been filled and the instrument refinished. The bridge has been replaced; it’s a beautiful piece of ebony, beautifully crafted. Also noteworthy are two stabilized splints on the back. The tuners are original. It comes with its vintage hardback case, which has been well-worn.
