Martin 000-18 1955 Acoustic Guitar – excellent sound and nice vintage condition – a real dream guitar

This Martin 000-18 1955 Acoustic Guitar is a vintage masterpiece that impresses with its massive, open sound. From the moment we first tuned and played this guitar, its dynamic voice left us in awe.

Crafted in the post-war era, this period saw Martin producing guitars with unparalleled craftsmanship. These instruments were hand-built using the finest tonewoods, without commercial constraints. The guitar features stunning mahogany sides and back, paired with a beautifully-grained spruce top, resulting in a sound that is both powerful and resonant. Guitars from this era are considered some of the finest in Martin’s long and storied history, a testament to the brand’s over 100 years of quality craftsmanship.

This particular Martin 000-18 1955 is in good vintage condition, showing signs of extensive play and use, along with some old repairs. It has undergone a neck reset, ensuring it plays effortlessly with a smooth action (2.4 mm E and 1.7 mm e at the 12th fret). The pictures reveal its well-preserved state, highlighting its vintage charm.

What truly sets this guitar apart is its articulate and mature mahogany tone, rich and deep enough to be mistaken for rosewood. The combination of its construction and aged woods produces a hauntingly beautiful sound that defies easy description.

This Martin 000-18 1955 Acoustic Guitar is one of those guitars that, once played, becomes a must-have for any serious musician or collector. It encapsulates the essence of Martin’s legendary craftsmanship and timeless appeal.

The guitar comes with a new Martin case. The Martin 000-18 1955 Acoustic Guitar is more than just an instrument; it’s a historical artifact with a voice that continues to inspire.
