Martin O-18 Acoustic Guitar 1949 – Natural with Case

Description

Martin O-18 Acoustic Guitar – 1949 Natural w/ Original Case (Good Condition)

Here’s a beautiful vintage 1949 Martin O-18 Acoustic Guitar, a classic small-body acoustic built during Martin’s golden era. This instrument delivers that unmistakable vintage Martin tone — warm, open, and incredibly responsive — with a comfortable, lightweight feel that makes it perfect for both fingerstyle and flatpicking.

Condition:
This guitar is in good vintage condition with expected wear for its age. Some work has been done to the top around the pickguard area, and it appears the bridge has been reset. There are also a few repaired cracks in the back of the body that appear stable. The neck and frets are in great shape, with only slight divots in the first few frets. The original tuners are still intact and functional. The finish shows natural checking and patina consistent with a well-cared-for 75-year-old instrument.
