Default 2009 Martin 000-18 Authentic 1937 Sunburst

Hi Folks, I have a very nice Martin Authentic for sale on Reverb for $3,950 or best offer:
I've bought and sold many a high end guitar on this forum, ebay and the UMGF. This gem is right up there with the best of them.

Check it out and let me know if I can answer any questions. Special consideration given to forum members.
Thanks, Gary

2009 Martin 000-18-A Authentic 1937 guitar original delux Authentic case.

One of the few sunbursts of the 96 built. Top quality tonewoods and build quality with Waverly tuners

Guitar is in all-original excellent condition showing less than the usual wear with some moderate surface swirls. Dealer installed strap button on the heel. The very comfortable neck is straight and action is 1/8" low with lots of saddle. Beautiful sunburst Adirondack top, best seen in person. More subtle and blended in person, the photos do not do it justice. As great sounding a Martin as I have ever owned. Heads and tails above the Golden Era models (which are great!) with a lighter build/bracing and thinner top.
A big bold and lively punchy sound with big tight bass and sparkling highs. Martin warmth and lots of head room.
