2016 Martin 00-18 Authentic 1931 SOLD
Up for sale is my immaculate 2016 Martin 00-18 Authentic 1931. This guitar has a VTS Adirondak top, hide glue construction, Madagascar rosewood binding, and more. This guitar has a great range, pleasing mahogany clarity, feels extremely light (I do not know the exact weight), and has hardly been played (no fret wear) and only finger picked. Martin made 171 of these from 2015 to 2020.
There isn’t a mark on this guitar and it has never been modified. OHSC also like new. This is a handmade, authentic reproduction of a 1931 00-18 that Martin borrowed from Fred Oster’s (owner of Vintage Instruments) collection. If you are not familiar with Martin’s authentic series guitars, I encourage you to read up on the process. These are completely different animals than their production line guitars and feel completely unique from the second you pick one up. Asking $XXXX to continental 48 including shipping f&f. g&s is negotiable For referrals or questions please reach out. Located in eastern PA. https://imgur.com/a/NPMb6Qx CONSTRUCTION: Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue Construction BODY SIZE: 00-12 Fret TOP MATERIAL: Adirondack Spruce with VTS TOP DETAIL: N/A ROSETTE: Old Style Multi-Stripe BRACING PATTERN: Authentic 1931 X Brace BRACE SHAPE: Scalloped BRACE MATERIAL: Adirondack Spruce with VTS BRACE SIZE: 1/4" BACK MATERIAL: Genuine Mahogany BACK DETAIL: N/A BACK PURFLING/STRIP: Madagascar Rosewood SIDE MATERIAL: Genuine Mahogany SIDE DETAIL: N/A ENDPIECE: Madagascar Rosewood ENDPIECE INLAY: N/A BINDING: Madagascar Rosewood TOP INLAY MATERIAL: Multi-Stripe SIDE INLAY MATERIAL: N/A BACK INLAY MATERIAL: N/A NECK MATERIAL: Genuine Mahogany NECK SHAPE: Authentic 1931 NECK TAPER: Standard Taper PLEK: No NUT MATERIAL: Ebony HEADSTOCK SHAPE: Slotted with 1931 Taper HEADPLATE MATERIAL: Madagascar Rosewood HEADPLATE DETAIL: N/A HEADPLATE LOGO STYLE: Stamped on Back of Headstock HEADPLATE BINDING MATERIAL: N/A HEELCAP: Madagascar Rosewood FINGERBOARD MATERIAL: Ebony SCALE LENGTH: 24.9'' NECK JOINS BODY AT: 12th Fret NUMBER OF FRETS TOTAL: 20 FINGERBOARD WIDTH AT NUT: 1-7/8'' FINGERBOARD WIDTH AT 12TH FRET: 2-5/16'' FINGERBOARD INLAY MATERIAL: Abalone FINGERBOARD INLAY STYLE: Authentic 18 Old Style FINGERBOARD BINDING MATERIAL: N/A SIDE DOTS: Grained Ivoriod BACK & SIDE FINISH: Vintage Gloss BACK AND SIDE COLOR: Dark Mahogany FINISH TOP: Vintage Gloss TOP COLOR: Clear FINISH NECK: Vintage Gloss NECK COLOR: Dark Mahogany BRIDGE MATERIAL: Ebony BRIDGE STYLE: Authentic Belly - Glue in Long Saddle BRIDGE STRING SPACING: 2-3/8'' SADDLE: Bone SADDLE RADIUS: 16'' TUNING MACHINES: Golden Age Relic Brass Side Mount RECOMMENDED STRINGS: MA540T KNOB: Cream Plastic BRIDGE PIN MATERIAL: Black Plastic BRIDGE PIN DOTS: N/A PICKGUARD: Faux Tortoise PICKGAURD INLAY: N/A CASE: Martin 525V Harptone Hardshell Last edited by Dave12M; 03-10-2023 at 11:34 PM.

Great Guitars
I own one and frankly it’s the best thing Martin’s put out since 1944. I have played it against both prewar 00-18s and 21s and it has more dynamic range than many of them. The average prewar 00-18 lacks bass, these do not.
It’s 3 pounds 2 ounces. I gig it with a K&K and it works better than anything I had and I’ve had many and toured much.

This guitar has an ebony truss rod. I think One Man’s Guitar has the best write-up on the 00-18 Authentic 1931 if you want to check it out. I hope I am allowed to share this link.

Marked this as off-market in December to think about whether or not I want to sell it for a while.
Decided I should sell and so I deleted a handful of bumps and am bringing this listing back to life. Now listed lower than ever. Please let me know if you have any questions on this remarkable and mint guitar.
