The 1920’s were a good decade for Martin Guitars, and this 1926 00-18 is a fine example of the calibre of instrument America was producing at that time. The warmth, vigor, and bright tone of this 00 is very impressive; the guitar has completely opened up, given its almost centenarian status. For an instrument of this age, it’s in remarkable condition, with minimal play wear and only a minor crack that our own Ken Jones repaired. Pick this baby up out of its case, and you’ll be shocked at how light it is–and that lightweight construction translates into a Mahogany soundbox that has heaps and heaps of volume and a Adirondack Spruce top. Fingerstylists and Traditional musicians, this guitar will sing beneath your fingertips.
This guitar has the voice of a wiseman and the energy of a teenager! I couldn't resist playing some old Mississippi John Hurt country blues on this 00-18, and of course it played like wish come true. There aren't but so many of these "old-timers" around, and they're only becoming scarcer as time passes--this is a heck of a deal to have a bit of history in your hands. 
Light as a feather and great sounding, this guitar has been well taken care of. It has a pronounced V-shape to the wider neck. | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
