Want To Buy: Martin 0-18K 20's-30's

Hi,
Trying to track down one of these wonderful all Koa beauties.

Prefer crack free, mostly original parts, no overspray

Vintage case is not important at all.

There's one on the Mandolin Cafe.

Thanks Terry!

Folkway Music has a very nice 30s unconverted model. Would need to find someone to do the conversion but they seldom come up as clean as this one. Good luck.

I have one I might consider unloading. It’s a ‘31 with a belly bridge and all original. PM me if interested. Where are you located?

The one on Mandolin Cafe appears to be spoken for. I've looked at the Folkway model, i could pursue a conversion, good thought.

You might also want to check out the “Tabu” (made in Hawaii) models from the late 1920s as well. They sound and play wonderfully. Paul Summers was one maker.

I’ve A-B’d with 0-18Ks and Tabu models typically have better tone to my ears. Very lightweight.

At 1/2 the price, they are great values as well.

Good luck with your search.

Interesting, thanks for the tip Bob
