Our favorite "E" Series Martin! 1962 Martin 00-18E in Excellent condition. Only made from 1959-1962 in lower quantities compared to other standard models. The 00-18E is the only model from this series that is actually X-Braced, and the only model from the series that sounds great acoustically. We sent this one to our friends at Portland Fretworks for a neck reset and new saddle. The bridge and bridge plate appear to be the originals, but this model would usually have two pearloid dots covering screws on the bridge. Kind of a mystery, but everything looks original. There is also one added brace underneath the pickguard. Incredibly cool, incredibly clean and a particularly great playing example. 

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.  

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
