Absolutely beautiful vintage 1959 Martin 000-18 acoustic guitar.I could spend hours with the description so i will sum it up briefly here - It is stunning!! I mean both aesthetically and tonally. I can not speak enough about the real pure Martin sound and quality of this instrument.All original parts. Some moderate player wear and a couple of excellent repairs done by a professional luthier. Mahogany back, sides and neck. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, bridge and peghead overlay. Tortoise bindings around top and back edge of body. Multiple wood purflings inside top edge of binding. Tortoise pickguard in great shape. Original bridge in great shape. Original Grover open-back tuners. 1 11/16" nut width; 24.9" short scale. Englemann spruce top. . It does produce great sound, though. Neck angle is fine. The bridge has not been shaved down, there is plenty of saddle height and nice medium action. Finish looks great - there is some added lacquer over some wear areas. There is one area on left side of top on lower bout where one significant crack and two smaller cracks were repaired professionally. Both mahogany sides show evidence of excellent small repairs at widest part of lower bout. This is a very nice guitar that doesn't need any any repairs. Even the frets and fingerboard show recent professional fret work, with frets not showing any dents or wear. Comes in a more recent Martin blue moulded hard case.If you have any questions then please call me on 01925365579 or 07897381556.Good luck!!
