Default ***SOLD*** Martin 000-18 Marquis Golden Era 2009

***SOLD***

Excellent example of this somewhat rare model from Martin

Same specs as the 000-18GE, but with a Madagascar Rosewood overlay on the head stock. Scalloped bracing, bone nut and saddle, 1 3/4" nut with a modified V neck profile, and 2 5/16" at the saddle. Some interesting figuring on the Adi top.

No significant blemishes (scratches, dings or dents) that I can find. Very little play wear. Truly excellent all around condition.

Recently acquired a 000-18 Authentic (thanks to AGFer howthewestwas1), so this one has to go.

AGF price: $2300 Shipped.

I had one of these and never should have let it get away. Liked it more than my OM-18A!

These are stellar guitars. I own the 12-fret version and can't imagine selling it (I know, famous last words here on AGF...).

Fair price, too.

It compares quite well actually, especially considering it is almost half the price of the authentic. The tone and feel are nearly the same, but the Authentic has a bit more volume and responsiveness. I actually prefer the neck on the Marquis by a little bit.
