Martin / 00018 / 1951 / Guitar

Crafted with a Sitka spruce top, South American mahogany back and sides, and a Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, this guitar exudes timeless elegance and unparalleled quality. The 000 body size, also known as the Orchestra size, offers a comfortable playing experience with its shallow depth and generous lower bout, making it a favourite among musicians for its balanced tone and ease of play. Especially the shorter scale length compared to the 'OM' was favoured by pickers that required some string-bending ease. Despite its age, this 000-18 has been meticulously cared for and restored to its former glory. A new bridge and large bridge plate have been installed to stabilise the cracks around the bridge and ensure structural integrity, while the top under the bridge has been reinforced with additional cleats for added strength. The recent neck reset has optimised the action, making it a joy to play across the entire fretboard. Besides that the guitar is crack-free, which is quite a rarity with these old Martins! With its wonderfully dry, woody tone and vintage character, this guitar sings with the soul of a bygone era. Although it bears the marks of its journey, including the faint outline of a double 'Flamenco' style pickguard it once wore proudly, its sound remains pure and timeless. Offering exceptional tone at an unbeatable price, this vintage Martin 000-18 is a testament to the enduring legacy of Martin craftsmanship and a treasure for any musician lucky enough to make it their own.

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.
