Martin / 018 / 1956 / Guitar For Sale

This Martin 0018 from 1956 is a guitar that will attract attention at first glance. The guitar exudes a beautiful charm and, given the traces of play on the top and the sound box, has clearly been played respectfully over the years. As far as we are concerned, this is always a good sign, because of course it is always the good guitars that are played a lot! And whether this little Martin is good, because the guitar is particularly resonant and has that typical dry and woody sound that only a vintage instrument can give you. The Martin 018 was introduced in 1898, and at that time had a 12-fret neck construction. In the course of the 1930s, Martin switched to the model that we still know today, with a 14-fret construction. The guitar is equipped with a mahogany sound box and Sitka spruce top, supported by a non-scalloped X-bracing. The V-shaped mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard, as was standard on Martin's 18 series from 1940 onwards. A crack has been repaired on the bass side of the body, and the guitar has undergone a neck reset and refret, making the guitar's playability more than adequate at the moment. Furthermore, the bridge has been re-glued, and the guitar has been fitted with a replacement nut and bridge saddle. We can see from the bridge saddle, which has now become somewhat lower, that this maintenance was carried out some time ago. Despite the fact that this Martin can still go on for years to come, new maintenance is expected in the future. On the back of the headstock we find the original tuners, and the pickguard is also original. Furthermore, the guitar has the traces of play and weather checking that make this 018 a beautiful vintage guitar!

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.
