Martin / 018T Tenor Guitar / 1980 / Guitar

Designed in the late 1920s for tenor banjoists getting pushed out of work by the preference for the guitar, tenor guitars like this 018T have a lovely and well-balanced design. In the 1930s and 1940s tenor guitars found a home with vocal groups like the Mills Bothers and the Cats and the Fiddle. And in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the tenor guitar became popular with folk groups like Kingston Trio and the Brothers Four. This 018T was made in 1980 and is still in very good condition. It looks very clean for its age, but does of course have some playwear and dings on the body and neck. The top has a small repaired pickguard crack and a newer pickguard, while the original pickguard is included in the case. It shows the typical Martin features including a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a dot-inlaid rosewood fingerboard on the 14 fret, 23" scale neck. Small and comfortable, it has a sweet voice with lovely warmth and a piano-like sustain. Comes in a hardshell case with TFOA passport.

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.
