Vintage 1929 C.F. Martin O-18 Concert Acoustic Flattop Guitar

Description

You are bidding on a Vintage 1929 F.F. Martin O-18 Concert Acoustic Flattop Guitar. This 12 Fret Guitar has serial No. 38959 that dates it to 1929. It is marked C.F. Martin on the underside of the headstock and inside the body. It measures 37 7/8” long and is 13 1/2” wide. The body is 19” long. I believe the back and sides are Mahogany and the top Spruce. The fingerboard is Ebony. In 1929, Martin didn’t offer a guitar with a pick guard so the one here is an aftermarket addition. This guitar was sold 6 months ago and was damaged in transit. This has been professionally repaired and it has been refretted and the bridge reset. This comes in an unbranded case. It has wonderful tone and you’ll be pleased with this one. Packaging, shipping and insurance will run 0. I’ll offer free shipping for a full price offer.
