Martin 000-18A 1937 Authentic Sunburst (2006) Mahogany-Adirondack-Hide Glue-T-Bar, Case, NM
Martin 000-18 1937 Authentic, pre-owned but near mint condition, impressive looks. This is Martin's ultimate Recreation of their prized 1937 pre-war 000-18. Made exactly like the pre-war guitar, with solid honduran Mahogany back and sides, solid Adirondack top, forward shifted X-brace, Scalloped according to 1937 style, hide glue construction throughout, T-Bar neck reinforcement, ebony fingerboard with small abalone position dots, ebony bridge with Long fossil ivory saddle, tortoise pickguard under the finish, to be absolutely clear about it: The neck is reinforced with the favored traditional non-adjustable T-bar, those looking for a Trussrod won't find it. A few adantages of the T-bar are the much longer lasting straightness of the neck and the impressive sustain, Really there is no need for a trussrod once you learned about these advantages. Other small details are the fossil ivory nut and saddle (either wallrus or Mammoth) 45mm (1 3/4") width at the nut, 645mm (25.4") scale length, 59mm (2 5/16") fingerspacing at the bridge, ebony bridge pins, 1930's style brown hardshell case This composition of small 1937 details add up to a most wonderful guitar and the impressive tone is a worthwhile investment, over time this vintage recreation will only impress more and more. Except for a few tiny string scratches to the headstock there is not a scratch or dent on this guitar and virtually NEW condition. No longer available from Martin and originally listed well over €8500 euro when new!

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
