Description

This 1952 Martin 0-18 pairs a spruce top with mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Its 24.9" scale, soft V neck profile, and 1.691" nut width give it the compact, responsive feel associated with Martin’s smaller-bodied vintage acoustics.

This example has had a neck reset and bridge reglue, along with repaired and touched-up top cracks, reglued back bracing, and replacement bridge pins. There is also a small area of binding separation along the top. It retains its original Kluson open-gear tuners, includes a non-original hardshell case, and remains in overall good condition.
