1946 Martin 0-18 – Great Player Grade Small Body Acoustic!

Here’s a great example of Martin’s post-war craftsmanship  a 1947 Martin 0-18 that’s been well cared for and remains in very good vintage condition. This lightweight, small-bodied guitar offers the unmistakable tone of a mature Martin: warm, articulate, and resonant. Ideal for fingerstyle, blues, folk, and recording, this guitar sings with a dry, punchy midrange and clear trebles, a tone that only 75+ years of natural aging can produce. Responsive and balanced, it’s an inspiring instrument for both studio and stage. Has had a K&K pickup installed.
