Martin 000-18 Rare! Priwar made in 1937 & Super low interest rate

  
Priwar made in 1937 & Super low interest rate. Made in 1937 000-18 Rare pre-war, pre-war Martin Martin considers the period between 1930 and 1945 to be the Golden Era, and many legendary vintage guitars were born during this period.

This instrument is also 000-18 made in 1937, which was born during the Golden Era era. 000-18 manufactured in 1937 will be 303 pieces. Let's take a look at the details and condition starting from the top.

The wide, angular head and head plate are made of Jacaranda. The pegs are equipped with original Grover open backs, and currently the tuning is smooth and there are no problems. T-bar rod, mahogany neck with a V-shape for good playability, and a nut width of approximately 44.5mm.

The nut has been replaced. There are some scratches and dents on the back of the neck due to use, but nothing that would interfere with playing. No broken neck or repairs. Regarding the modifications, the ebony fingerboard has been replaced. At that time, the position mark is a pearl dot.

Therefore, the frets are in a beautiful condition with almost no wear. A strap pin is attached to the neck heel. The sides and back are made of very dense high-quality mahogany, and the top is made of Adirondack spruce. The body binding is tortoiseshell type, and the pickguard is also the original tortoiseshell type. The neck has been reset in the past, and there are cracks on both sides of the neck joint that appear to have occurred at that time, but they have been repaired with adhesive.

Although the ebony bridge has been shaved, there are no signs of replacement, so I think it is probably original. The saddle has been replaced.

The bridge plate is maple and the bracing is scallop. There is a large crack on the top, but you can see cracks in three places from the bottom of the bridge to the end of the body.

The longest crack in the middle and to the left has been repaired with adhesive and patch, and the crack on the right has been repaired with adhesive. As for the cracks on the side, there are repair marks caused by cracks in the wood at the top of the constriction on the right side when viewed from the front, and the paint is younger in that area. When you look inside, there are adhesive marks from there to the shoulder area, which suggests that it has been repaired as there was some cracking there. Although it is the top, there are other scratches, dents, and weather checks that are appropriate for the age.

The overall paintwork appears to be an original finish based on its appearance and atmosphere. The side and back also have scratches and dents that are appropriate for their age. The neck has also been reset, so there are no problems with playability and it is ready to use. The string height is approximately 2.6mm for the 6th string and 12F, and approximately 1.6mm for the 1st string.

The first thing you notice about the sound is the rich volume. Of course it can't match the Dreadnought, but this volume with the 000 should be enough. The next thing I hear is influenced by the T-bar rod, but it has a crisp and bright sound. Every note is lively, and I feel that it is a young, active guitar in a good way. There is a sense of volume, but it never feels noisy because it is vintage and the warmth of mahogany, and even within that, you can clearly feel the so-called withering. Since the adjustments have been completed, this is a vintage guitar that you can use with confidence.
