Default *Traded* Martin 000-18GE Custom Adirondack / Quilted Sapele Hide Glue Ambertone

For sale is a beautiful custom 000-18GE with quilted Sapele back and sides and an Adirondack top and Adirondack Golden Era bracing. Madagascar binding and trim pieces, Waverly tuners w/Ebony knobs, full Hide Glue construction, flamed mahogany neck, mammoth ivory nut and saddle. The guitar is mint with the exception of one small ding on the headstock (see photos) and some very minor fret wear. Original MSRP on this was $7999. Neck angle is perfect, action is just a hair above 6/64" low E and 5/64" high E at the 12th fret with plenty of saddle showing.

Modified V neck with 30s style heel, 2 5/16" bridge spacing, 1 3/4" nut, 24.9" scale length.

This guitar is a work of art. If you want to swing for the fences and have the best 000-18GE money can buy, this is it. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

AGF price is $deal pending

Thank you, this is the best concert-sized mahogany guitar I've gotten my hands on. Like a 000-18GE or CEO-7 on steroids, if that were ever possible.

Price drop to $3500 shipped. This is a steal for this guitar.

I’ll give this a bump! I’ve exchanged pleasant messages with Matt; don’t know him personally. He seems like an honest dude and this guitar looks pretty awesome. Got me thinking...

That is a striking top/burst. More than honey! Maybe caramel honey.
