What We Think
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required minimal work to the action and intonation to be in the most playable condition possible. The guitar was also restrung as the strings it came to us with needed to be changed out. No further work was required.
Manufacturer's Description from Martin
The all-new Custom Shop 000-18 1937 gives players the sonic qualities of the Authentic Series paired with the everyday value of a trusty workhorse guitar. Regarded as the cornerstone of performance and sound, Martin’s highly prized 1937 models set the bar for generations of instruments that followed. This guitar features a Adirondack spruce top, genuine mahogany back and sides, scalloped bracing, hide glue and cloth strip construction, and an adjustable truss rod, capturing the look, feel, and sound of some of the finest guitars ever made.
The Custom Shop 000-18 1937 is also available with an ambertone finish. Stage 1 aging lacks the heavy wear and tear of a well-worn instrument and instead features the light checking inspired by those rare guitars that were simply kept in a case and tucked away for decades. It bears the marks of time but not the heavy wear common on newly aged guitars.
About Manufacturer
For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
