In 1928 Mickey Mouse debut’s in Steamboat Willie, Amelia Earhart crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Hoover becomes the U.S. President and this Martin 0-18K Guitar was born. This vintage Martin 0-18K, in all-Koa, was crafted by C.F. Martin and Company and, according to the hand written note inside, given ‘To Ruth from Pop’. It’s great to see the personal history of this beautiful prewar Martin Guitar. The top, back and sides are all beautiful Koa wood and this guitar is full of energy. It’s one of those that was braced lightly so that it fills the air with boisterous notes. It’s a superb blues and rag guitar thanks to it’s very strong voice. It’s in very good condition, has modern frets, so it plays great and is solid throughout. Here’s a wonderful Martin from 1928 that can be your piece of guitar history.
This is simply an exceptional 0-18K from 1928. This prewar Martin is strong, real strong. Notes fire from the soundboard and they are full and rich. The bracing is completely original, including the bridgeplate, so the intended tone is all intact. I love the historic personal note inside and it's a wonderful vintage guitar, but with modern frets and feel. You're gonna love this.... | Scale Length | 24.75 in |
