Wow...I knew you'd be up early but a post a 5:43 AM? Glad you waited to be safe. Beautiful guitar and I'm sure it sounds the same! Big Congrats!
PS: I have that same '35 sunburst on a CS D-18 and Martin has really stepped up their game in that dept. That is really a stellar looking guitar!

Congratulations on a beautiful and rare Martin. And wow, your restraint was amazing. I haven't been this keen to check an AGF thread in years.
I became fascinated by 12 fret guitars a few years ago and I have wondered if the 0000 12 fret is the ultimate of everything. I'm mighty tempted. hope you get years of enjoyment!

Hey, lowrider, that is a cool guitar! I love the ‘35 burst and the 12 fret join. If you want that cutaway; it’s never too late. I have a little time before dinner…

I just talked to my guy at Willcutt. I called to get the build sheet, which they forgot to send with the guitar. He told that this wasn't a group order, it's the only one. Right now there aren't plans for another order.
So this is my second one-of-a-kind Martin. Here's a pic with the other one, my J-17 that I got 2 or 3 years ago; Happy Black Friday everyone. I'm sitting on the side for this one. I'm all shopped out!

This afternoon I was playing it back to back with my other guitars. It really showed how much better it is than my J-17. Both are spruce and mohagany, the the 18 series guitar just shines over the 17. The J-17 does stand up to the J-40 so who knows.
The 0000-18 really matches up nicely with the GP-28. Switching back and forth between the mahogany and the rosewood, each sounded great and the complimented each other nicely. Last edited by lowrider; 11-29-2021 at 11:11 PM.

How are your impressions now the initial impression is behind you? This feels a lot like the ultimate 18 series Martin to me.
