This is the kind of guitar to write home to the folks about. We are floored by this little 00-18 from 1928. Just floored. The voice is immense, colorful, powerful, and the trebles have incredibly beautiful overtones that ring out and out. Fantastic for fingerstyle work, and it holds up handsomely under a pick too. This Martin 00-18 has been cared for over the years and comes to us with a clean bill of health and ready for more action. The Mahogany body has a few cracks, which have been stabilized. Bridge plate has been replaced, and a thin patch has been installed over the area to reinforce it—and the Adirondack Spruce top rings out loud and clear and true. This 00 very much punches about its weight. The setup is silky smooth to boot; the bar frets here are some of the easiest-playing bars we’ve handled in quite some time. In hand, this gem from 1928 almost floats away: it weights 2.75lbs. That’s it. These tonewoods have been torrefied the old school way! Super lightweight, super resonant. We urge you to snag this one before we decide to keep it for ourselves.
