Here we have an amazing sounding pre-war Martin 000-18 that is all original but for the pickguard and case. In 1942 the braces were still scalloped and that makes this a very vibrant guitar with the sound everybody wants. The Mahogany/Adirondack body is sound and the neck set and fretwork is perfect. This guitar plays as good as a new Martin but has the unmistaken voice of age, big bass and strong trebles. All the key elements are here original bridge, bridgeplate and tuners. Don’t miss the chance to get your prewar Martin, surely it’s a better place for your money than the market these days…
We love to find prewar Martin guitars that play perfectly and don't have the headaches of many vintage instruments. This one is solid, perfect neck set and fretwork and plays like a dream. The condition is great for a 1942 and both the voice and the look have real mojo. This is one you can play and enjoy, it needs no work, and it will likely outpace the stock market while you pick on it. 
This is a great guitar. The neck profile is on the small size, so it's perfectly suited for those of us with smaller hands. The wear it's incurred since 1942 adds lots of character and makes you wonder how many stories this guitar could tell if it could. | Scale Length | 24.75 in |
