1934 Long-Scale Martin 000-18

A great playing & sounding guitar. This is a very rare instrument, as all but a very few Martin triple-O’s are/were made with a 24.9 inch scale from nut to saddle. This one has the more desirable and hard to find 25.4 inch scale.

A player's instrument and not a collector's museum piece, all major repairs were done in 1981 at McCabes Guitar Shop, Santa Monica, CA., by their head luthier who was also the caretaker for the famed Tsumura Guitar Collection.

If totally original, this instrument would sell for $20K or more. (There's one in TX right now with an asking price of $34K.) Because of it’s repair history, this one is priced @ $8,500.00. Hard shell case is included.
