1970 Martin 0-18T Tenor Guitar
I do love 0-18Ts! I don't think I've ever played a bad one, yet. They're warm, full-sounding, have some chime, and cut nicely to boot. This one is a local customer's find and he brought it into the shop to get service and get it prepped for Celtic GDAE/GDAD tunings.
To this end, I gave it a neck reset, made and fit a replacement for a missing pickguard, and replaced damaged original tuners. Jose then leveled/dressed the frets, fit a new bone saddle, and set it up. It plays like an absolutely champ and sounds like one, too. I think the owner will be psyched to get this out to the Celtic sessions he frequents!
These are x-braced, solid spruce over solid birch, and have rosewood boards and bridges.
