Here is a Beautiful 67 or 68 Martin 0-18.
this guitar sounds fantastic and is a joy to play.
i believe everything on the guitar is all original.
grover butter bean tuners.

the pickguard is curling and has created a small crack.
not at the b string though, but insted at the lower bout of the pick guard itself.
you can see it in picture number 10.

the action is a little high and the saddle is a little low.
a new nut would probably do the trick.
i believe the nut is plastic and is original.

on the bottom of the neck pocket, there is a little scar.
someone may have started on a neck reset?????
please see pic number 9. number 9?

the top has tons of amazing bear claw through out.
email for more detailed photos.

there is also tons of gibson style checking everywhere.
these are only on the finish.

the case was sold to me as the original but it is slightly too big.
may be for an 00-18???? i just put a shirt at the bottom and it keeps
the guitar snug.

i never thought that i would sell this guitar, but something has to go.
i have bought way too many other guitars, amps and drums lately.

vintage guitar price guide has these at $2200-2800.
i'm asking $1800 OBO.

please email if you have any questions.

i am not an expert. all items sold as is.
