Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good. This guitar is a 1930s Martin that has had repairs done on cracks in the top, and the neck has been reset previously.

SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress, Setup, Drill & Fill Nut, Cleanup, Verify Repair History.

 

A vintage Martin is a treat for any guitar player to experience, and through all of the ones we here at SoundPure have seen, this one is a personal favorite of many of us. Playing this O-18 is like putting glasses on for the first time - you don't know how good an acoustic can sound until you've played this one. Don't miss this one!
