Default F/S Martin 000-18 Kenny Sultan Signature Model #34

Good afternoon all.

I'm looking for a 1 3/4' inch Collings 01, preferably mahogany/Adi. I offer a 9.9/mint Martin Kenny Sultan 000-18KS. There were around 236 of them made (I might be mistaken at the exact number) and they are rare to find. I think they were all sold to Kenny's students. This signature model was built by the custom shop approximate the vintage character of Kenny’s 1936 000-18.

It has the following specs:
Model: 000-18 Kenny Sultan. Body Size: 000-14 Fret;
Top: Solid Adirondack Spruce; Rosette: Single Ring Herringbone Pearl with Black/White/Black Boltaron; Top Bracing; Pattern: Standard ''X'' Scalloped; Top Braces: Solid Adirondack Spruce 1/4'';
Back Material: Solid Flamed Mahogany; Back Purfling: Fine Pattern Herringbone; Side Material: Solid Flamed Mahogany; Mahogany Blocks/Dovetail; Neck Joint;
Endpiece: Delmar Tortoise Color – Brown;
Binding: Tortoise Color – Brown; Top Inlay Style: Multiple Black/White Boltaron; Side Inlay: none; Back Inlay: Black/White Boltaron;
Neck Material: Select Hardwood; Neck Shape: Modified V;
Nut Material: Bone; Headstock: Solid/Square Taper;
Headplate: Solid Black Ebony /CFM Script Logo - Mother Of Pearl; Heelcap: Solid Black Ebony;
Fingerboard Material: Solid Black Ebony;
Scale Length: 24.9''; Number Of Frets Clear: 14; Number Of Frets Total: 20; Fingerboard Width At Nut: 1-3/4';Fingerboard Width At 12th Fret: 2-1/4''; Fingerboard Position Inlays: Diamond and Squares- Short Pattern; Fingerboard Binding: none;
Finish Back & Sides: Polished Gloss; Finish Top: Polished Gloss w/ Unique Sunburst; Finish Neck: Polished Gloss;
Bridge Material: Solid Black Ebony; Bridge Style: Belly; Bridge String Spacing: 2-5/16''; Saddle: 16'' Radius in Compensated/Bone;
Tuning Machines: Waverly Nickel w/ Butterbean Knobs; Recommended S
Bridge Pins: Solid Black Ebony;
Pickguard: Delmar Tortoise Color - Beveled & Polished;
Case: 533E Geib style;
Interior Label: Signed By Kenny Sultan, Number #34.
K&K pick up installed.

Forgive me in advance for the horrible photography. I have no talent.





I am putting this up at $3,750 OBO. Consider trade for a Collings 01, 01A, 01SB.
I like the Kenny Sultan and will keep it if there isn't a Collings 01 in my future but I have three Martin OMs right now and felt this would be the better trading option because it's a hard to find guitar.

Thanks for looking'

Jeff

Default Kenny Sultan 000-18?

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, just wanted to inquire if you had gotten rid of this guitar yet.
I've been looking for one for a bit.
I know this is a pretty old thread, just thought I'd inquire.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Derek Smith

Kenny lives down the street from me and he is a rag-time, American blues, etc.. master.

These guitars are wonderful. I have played a few in town....and I am tempted.

Of course when I wanted one I couldn't find one. I am committed to something else and BAM!

Love the guitar but I'm building my own guitars now and need to make some room in my home for them before I get good enough to sell some.

Take advantage now if you want one, they are not making anymore.

Kenny will be at the Santa Barbara Acoustic Music Celebration performing and giving a workshop. SBAIC is worth the trip.

Default 4th update

Happy 4th,

Not sure why this hasn't been sold yet but I haven't been trying real hard. I am think of letting go (or not) four of my guitars, the Kenny being the first.

I'm sure someone will enjoy this guitar when it finds a new home.

Jeff

PS. Don't blow off your fingers with fireworks, playing the guitar is more important.
