Martin / 5 18 Terz Mahogany Spruce / 1945 / Guitar For Sale

Constructed with a solid mahogany body and a solid Adirondack spruce top, the 5-18 Terz delivers a warm, resonant tone with a clear, articulate voice. The non-scalloped X-bracing supports the top, enhancing its strength and projection while maintaining the guitar's natural resonance. The body is adorned with tortoise binding, multi-line purfling, and a black pickguard, adding a touch of elegance to its classic natural gloss finish. The mahogany neck features a V profile and a rosewood fingerboard with a 16" radius, offering smooth playability and comfort. Pearl dot inlays and a rosewood headstock overlay add to the guitar's vintage aesthetic. The original open-gear tuning machines ensure stable tuning and accurate intonation, while the rosewood bridge with 54 mm string spacing provides excellent string action and sustain. As far as the condition goes, it plays fantastically and it sounds awesome. There are two patches, one in the top and one near the end-pin, that have been applied to repair cracks. Besides that the pickguard isn't original, which has probably been replaced when they resprayed the top of the terz a few years ago. Furthermore, the entire body (including the neck and headstock) has received an overspray, which was probably done an even longer time ago. Last (but not least!), the heel has been repaired some time ago and a new piece of wood has been inserted. Despite its smaller size, the Martin 5-18 Terz produces a surprisingly full and rich sound, making it a perfect choice for both fingerstyle playing and light strumming. Its 21.4" scale length and 1.61" nut width contribute to its playability, making it an ideal instrument for musicians seeking a compact, yet powerful acoustic guitar. This 1945 Martin 5-18 Terz comes with a Martin hardshell case for secure storage and transport, ensuring it remains protected for years to come. Whether you're a collector or a player, this vintage Martin offers a unique combination of historical significance, exquisite craftsmanship, and timeless tone, making it a truly exceptional instrument.

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.
