Arrow TRADED >1934 Martin 0-18K--Easy Playing SS, VG+ and 12-fret!

I am offering for sale (or trade) a fantastic Martin 0-18K in very good plus condition. Recently acquired from a fellow AGF member, I am selling to help a family member with a serious medical condition. Life happens.

Price to AGF members is xXxX (net) and I will split shipping costs in CONUS. Trade value is $xXxX. It is also available to try in the Portland, Oregon, area.

An outright sale is preferred, but I will entertain trade offers for 000 and smaller guitars, with a significant cash portion coming my way.

This is a fantastic vintage guitar (#56955) that plays effortlessly, with fantastic note separation and clarity. Comes with vintage Martin case.

Here is the Reverb link for more photos and description. Direct emails work best for serious inquiries. Specs include a shallow 1-7/8" nut width that plays like 1 3/4", 2.25" spacing at the saddle, and 24.75" scale. The neck is a C- profile.

Thanks for looking.

Bob

Cool guitar. You don't need a hosting site, just use the Reverb pics.

Thumbs up Thanks for the photo tips -- photos added to the listing

Thank you for the photo tips. I have added some photos to the listing and a link to a Reverb listing.

This is a great guitar. Feel free to ask any questions.

Arrow Bump for a great guitar with great tone

For those who love that vintage Martin tone from the 1930s.

Trades a possibility.

Thanks...

A BUMP for Bob and this fine guitar....I was the previous owner and if I wasn't trying to reduce my # of flattops ( still am! ), she'd still be mine.....she sounds wonderful and is SO easy to play....easiest playing vintage Martin I have ever owned...and that includes the two in my stable right now....Bob's analysis of the nut width and feel is dead on......and Bob is a joy to deal with as well....I check this listing every day as I really would love to have her back.....very tempting even as I continue to reduce the stable....

+1 to the playability and tone of these little 0-18K's.

I picked up a '34 few weeks ago and can't put it down.

They are also beautiful, and definitely out of the ordinary. 3000 made in total from 1919 to 1935, not sure how many survive.

Question Pending trade

Considering a potential trade. Act now if interested, as an outright sale is preferred.

Thanks

Bob

Default Responded to all PMs -- still available

Thanks for the inquiries. Looking for 000 or smaller in trade.

I updated the original posting to include the serial number (569xx), which dates this to 1933-34 timeframe. I hope I look as good at more than 80 years-old.

..... Even if you looked as good, I'm sure your singing voice wouldn't match her! Bump for a great seller here, folks! Buy with confidence!
