1945 Martin 0-18 Shade Top

Here we have a gorgeous 1945 Shade Top Martin 0-18. What a wonderful thing. A lot of famous singers and players, past and present, have plied their trade with a Martin parlor guitar nestled in their arms, and with good reason. Light but punchy, with great string definition, and joy to sing over. This 0-18 is in very good to excellent condition with moderate playwear and just a few patches of scratches here and there. Overall, the guitar presents very well for sure.

Neck depth measures .89 inches at the first fret and 1.1 inches at the twelfth fret. Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with dot markers and a 16 inch radius. 20 small Brass frets. Spruce top and Mahogany body. Beautiful vintage sunburst finish. Tortoise style pickguard. Non-scalloped bracing.

This is a unique opportunity to own a very special Martin that you rarely see. Grab it before one of us in the shop decides to keep it. Comes with an old Bulwin lined chipboard case in very good condition.
