Used Martin Guitars
Maker: Martin
Year: 1936
Notes:
These Martin Hawaiian guitars from this period came with flat fingerboards and bar frets. Not everyones favorite combination. When this conversion was done, along with the neck set the fingerboard was replaced ( with Brazilian) with a modern radiused fingerboard. Much better. As well, it had the super thin '36 bridgeplate replaced with something more typical of that period, very nice. Two very short tight solid hairline cracks on the lower back keep this from being excellent. Huge sound. Original soft case in marginal condition.
Maker: Martin
Year: 1932
Notes:
Beautiful shiny excellent guitar. If you love early Golden Era Martin guitars but dislike those pesky bar frets, this is the guitar for you, as the previous owner felt that way and put on a new fingerboard. There are a couple of minor tight hairlines on the edge of the back, one on the side. The bridge is the correct footprint but is either replaced or reglued. All in all, a stunning guitar from Martin's Golden Era in really excellent shape.....

Perfect unplayed condition. It appears to have top that is not Sitka. Super nice guitar, basically a brand new 35 year old Martin.
Maker: Martin
Year: 1928
Notes:
Superb example with a huge sound. Really nice shape, at some point it received the thinnest of oversprays, somewhat hard to detect; one can still see every bit of crazing in the finish. The inside looks pristine and like new. The original banjo tuners have been replaced with more effective planetary tuners. The only issue is a couple of minor repaired back cracks. Really a lovely guitar in the original hard case..

Notes:
Ad top, just back from a neck reset, super sound. This one has been played, but there are no issues what so ever, but the original owner had one heck of a belt buckle. One of the best 000-18s we have had, really a boomer and great player. Sorry if I sound like an evangelist, but I really like this guitar.
Modern Martin Hard Case
Maker: Martin
Year: 1931
Notes:
For those of you who want to get their Norman Blake on, we have for your consideration this 1931 000-18. It has had some work done on it over the years, nevertheless, a fabulous-playing and sounding guitar. Couple of old repaired cracks on the back, a little patch on the upper side bout as well as a filled jack hole. Somewhere along the line it also had a bridge-plate reinforcement. The great Frank Ford from Gryphon replaced the bridge and did a fret job on it, and it plays like a dream and sounds marvelous. It is a rather attractive guitar with no top issues. Really fun to play.

Year: 1943
Notes:
Just back from a neck set, this guitar has been played a lot and with good reason. completely original, crack and repair free.
It has its share of playwear and some real serious crazing on the top that gives it a very cool look.
Maker: Martin
Year: 1946
Notes:
A superb guitar, basically a 1945 in terms of appointments: Ad top, ebony fittings. Condition is stunning, recent neck set, zero issues. This guitar has the '46 neck profile, big, fat, round, feels more like the wide neck of the 30s. The Brazilian rose wood on the back and the sides are curly, obviously matched from the same log, perhaps the nicest rosewood we've seen. Huge sound. Love this guitar.

Notes:
There are not a lot of the guitars that I know the history of as well as this one. It belongs to a friend of mine of 45 years, and now is the time of life for him to move on. I remember when he purchased it in 1974, we played old timey music together. All of the major issues with this guitar existed as they are now when he bought the guitar, nothing has changed or moved. The two major issues are: It has a partial well repaired and solid crack in the peghead. At some point before he got the guitar the block had slipped and been reglued, it has been unchanged as well. There are a few minor solid repaired cracks on the top that as well were there and unchanged. It has a perfectly replicated bridge and bridge plate, one would be hard pressed to tell. The finish, sides and back are all untouched. There is a huge upside. It recently received a neck reset and set up. I have owned and played dozens of prewar D28s and D18s and I am pretty darn sure I have not played one any better than this one. It is absolutely mind boggling.
