Martin / 00018 Mahogany Sitka Spruce / 1947 / Guitar

This Martin 00018, serial number 100995, was stamped on July 9, 1947 and cleared final inspection on November 7 of that year. The relatively wide grain spruce top on this guitar looks very similar to Adirondack. Martin last purchased Adirondack spruce in late 1941 and it appears to have lasted well into 1945 while some small Martin guitars with Adirondack are mentioned in 1946 and 1947. But in this case the top is made from wide grain Sitka spruce. This is a very lovely guitar with excellent playabillity, and superb tone, original finish, pickguard, and belly bridge. It is a truly remarkable inspirational guitar, clean and balanced, warm and sweet, with great harmonics and beautiful overtones. The guitar has honest playwear, but is in good condition, has great action and playability. The neck has been reset and had a professional refret, so the current action at the 12th fret is 1,7 mm for the high e and 2,4 mm for the low E with plenty of saddle showing. There is a small pickguard crack and a repaired crack around the end pin, where a deluxe Carlos pickup is added. It has a light overspray at the heel and around the end pin. Comes with a newer Martin case. Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
