1964 Martin 0-18T Tenor Guitar

Overview: Martin 0-18Ts continue to be my flattop tenor guitar of choice and this one sounds like a champ! It's also quite clean and, post-fresh-repairs, completely healthy and ready for the world. These have that "Martin sound" to a T -- warmer, sweeter, fuller, with a bit of mellow mids-scoop and a strong but not-too-harsh high-end. These do the lower GDAE tuning well (and it was setup for that when it came in) but also shine in "Chicago" DGBE or standard (like in the video) CGDA, too. The truncated 0-size body shape is a great look and nothing else quite acts like these guitars.

Repairs included: I reset the neck and Max gave it a level/dress of the frets, made a new bone saddle, and set it up. It's playing bang-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's pretty clean for its age and only shows light weather-check to the finish and light scratching here and there. The saddle is new and bone but it otherwise appears original (save, maybe, the pins). There is an older repaired side crack (pictured) that is solid and pat and on the "knee side" anyhow.

It comes with: It has an old chip case.
