Default OO-18 Authentic 1931

Howdy,
Not a post I had hoped to make, someone will be getting a special instrument. Martin puts everything into their Authentic line. I've owned two (this and the OOO-28K) and they look, sound and play fantastic.

This description sums it up: The Martin 00-18 Authentic 1931 is a faithful reproduction of the original 1931 design. Designed with a spectacular Adirondack Top with the Vintage Tone System (VTS), the Martin 00-18 Authentic 1931 is full of sensational overtones and amazing volume. The VTS top allows the Adirondack to sound aged and broken in which leads to tones from the historical period Martin is aiming to recreate.

Wider nut (1-7/8) I was worried about this, but gave me no issues

This guitar is sold!

I played one of these just a week or two ago at Eddie's, a real nice guitar and (in my opinion) got much closer to the actual vintage voice than did the 00-17 Authentic I played on the same day.

Thanks to all who've reached out about trading or purchasing this guitar or have commented on it. Lots of interest and since you're still reading, still available to the right offer. Happy Easter my friends

I own one of these and it's my #1 for sitting and playing for almost any genre. It really is one of the best builds out there from the authentic series. Someone will really enjoy this.

Price adjustment, if the top and the pictures aren't enough encouragement. Maybe a few hondo off will?
