Description

The 1936 Martin 000-18 is a pre-war small-body flattop with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge — a combination that defines the benchmark for fingerpicking guitars of this era. The 24.9" scale and soft V neck profile are characteristic of the period and feel distinctly different from modern instruments.

The repair history on this one is significant and should be reviewed carefully: the neck has been reset and the bridge re-glued; there is wood chipping around the back of the bridge; damage at the headstock near the nut; three small drilled and filled holes on the top near the end of the neck; and three additional drilled and filled holes near the end pin. This is a player-grade vintage instrument. Comes in a hardshell case.
