{"product_id":"martin-000-18-1946","title":"Martin 000-18 1946","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"39\" data-end=\"521\"\u003eThe Martin 000-18 has long been revered for its balanced voice, exceptional responsiveness, and timeless craftsmanship, and this 1946 example embodies the character that has made post-war Martins some of the most sought-after acoustic guitars ever produced. Featuring a solid spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers a warm, articulate tone with impressive clarity, projection, and the dry, woody character that only decades of natural aging can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003eThis instrument is best described as player grade and has benefited from several important professional maintenance procedures over its lifetime. The neck has been professionally reset and the guitar has received a quality refret, resulting in excellent playability and proper neck geometry. A replacement pickguard has been installed, and the original headstock logo is no longer present. Despite these changes, the guitar retains the unmistakable feel and sound that vintage Martin enthusiasts seek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1409\"\u003eCosmetically, this 000-18 displays the honest wear, patina, and character expected from an instrument approaching eighty years of age. The finish shows the natural aging, checking, and playwear accumulated through decades of use, giving the guitar a well-earned vintage appearance. These signs of use contribute to its authentic character while reflecting a lifetime of music-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003eA wonderful opportunity to own a genuine post-war Martin 000-18 with outstanding tone and playability at a more accessible price point than a collector-grade example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1yl5694\" data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1597\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1599\" data-end=\"2147\"\u003eModel: Martin 000-18\u003cbr data-start=\"1619\" data-end=\"1622\"\u003eYear: 1946\u003cbr data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1635\"\u003eBody Size: 000 \u003cbr data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003eTop Wood: Solid Spruce\u003cbr data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1690\"\u003eBack and Sides: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1723\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"1737\" data-end=\"1740\"\u003eFingerboard: Brazilian Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1774\"\u003eBridge: Brazilian Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1803\"\u003eScale Length: 24.9\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003eNut Width: Approximately 1 11\/16\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"1861\"\u003eFrets: Professionally Refretted\u003cbr data-start=\"1892\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003eNeck Joint: Dovetail, Professionally Reset\u003cbr data-start=\"1937\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003eBracing: Scalloped X-Bracing\u003cbr data-start=\"1968\" data-end=\"1971\"\u003eBinding: Tortoise Style\u003cbr data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"1997\"\u003ePickguard: Replacement Tortoise Style Pickguard\u003cbr data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2047\"\u003eTuners: Vintage Open-Gear Tuners\u003cbr data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2082\"\u003eFinish: Original Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr data-start=\"2121\" data-end=\"2124\"\u003eCondition: Player Grade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"rn7fjq\" data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2168\"\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2170\" data-end=\"2487\"\u003ePlayer Grade Condition\u003cbr data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2195\"\u003eProfessional Neck Reset\u003cbr data-start=\"2218\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003eProfessional Refret\u003cbr data-start=\"2240\" data-end=\"2243\"\u003eReplacement Pickguard\u003cbr data-start=\"2264\" data-end=\"2267\"\u003eHeadstock Logo Missing\u003cbr data-start=\"2289\" data-end=\"2292\"\u003eHonest Cosmetic Wear Throughout\u003cbr data-start=\"2323\" data-end=\"2326\"\u003eBeautiful Vintage Patina\u003cbr data-start=\"2350\" data-end=\"2353\"\u003eTypical Finish Checking and Age-Related Wear\u003cbr data-start=\"2397\" data-end=\"2400\"\u003eStructurally Sound and Fully Playable\u003cbr data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2440\"\u003eOutstanding Aged Martin Tone and Responsiveness\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C.F.
