Martin / 0018 1947 / 2147 / Guitar For Sale

This Martin 0018 from 1947 is a guitar that will attract attention at first glance. The guitar exudes a beautiful charm and, given the abundant traces on the top, has clearly been played a lot over the years. As far as we are concerned, this is always a good sign, because of course it is always the good guitars that are played a lot! And does this Martin sound good! The guitar is particularly resonant and has that typical dry and woody sound that only a vintage instrument can give you. Where one guitarist finds the many traces of play a bit too much, the other will fall for it, but the fact is that these traces are honestly earned and are inextricably linked to the guitar. They tell the story of the musical journey of the guitar, and let your thoughts wander to the adventures that this Martin must have experienced! The Martin 0018 was introduced in 1898, and at that time had a 12-fret neck construction. In the course of the 1930s, Martin switched to the model that we still know today, with a 14-fret construction. The guitar is equipped with a mahogany sound box and Adirondack spruce top, supported by a scalloped X-bracing. The V-shaped mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard, as became standard on the 18 series from 1940 onwards. As mentioned before, the guitar has collected quite a few traces of play over the years; the wood around the soundhole has even been played away in some places! Furthermore, two cracks on the top and back have been repaired, and the guitar has been fitted with a new bridge. In addition, the guitar has undergone a refret and neck reset. This beautiful, characterful vintage Martin comes in a hardshell case.

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.
