The Story

1963 0-18 Acoustic Guitar Natural

This is a vintage 1963 Martin 0-18 acoustic. It's a well-worn guitar in very good players grade condition that sounds fantastic. There are scratches and dings throughout the body. The saddle is sanded down very low, likely from the guitar needing a neck reset but taking the sanded saddle route instead. The bushings on the D and B-string tuners fall off when restringing, and could stand to be replaced. There's a small one inch crack on the bass side upper bout but doesn't seem to be spreading or affecting the structural integrity of the guitar. This one has a really excellent well-worn and warm tone, especially when fingerpicking. The original case is included.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
