{"product_id":"vintage-martin-00-18-usa-1957","title":"SOLD - Vintage Martin 00-18 - USA 1957","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"867\"\u003eFew guitars wear their history with more pride than this 1957 Martin 00-18. A true road dog, it’s clearly been played, loved, and leaned on — a lifetime of music etched into every mark. The wear is honest and beautiful, giving it that unmistakable vintage character you just can’t fake. This is the kind of guitar that looks like it belongs on stage under warm lights, doing what it was built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"1256\"\u003eCrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania during Martin’s golden era, the 00-18 combines a spruce top with mahogany back and sides, delivering that quintessential dry, woody voice - punchy and balanced, with focused midrange warmth and sweet, airy trebles. The V-profile neck feels wonderfully vintage under the hand, offering that classic pre-’60s feel that so many players crave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1618\"\u003eThis example has seen plenty of life: there’s a solid, professionally executed patch repair on the back, and plenty of buckle rash that tells of countless nights on stage. Structurally, it’s rock solid - fully stable and ready for decades more service. The finish wear, dings, and scratches are pure storytelling; every mark has earned its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"1863\"\u003eTonally, it’s simply exceptional - open, resonant, and alive, with that seasoned depth and responsiveness only a well-played Martin can deliver. It’s a guitar that makes you play differently - with more soul, more touch, more connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"2119\"\u003eThe 00-18 has long been a favourite among players like Elvis Presley, Paul Simon, Woody Guthrie, and John Mayer, and it’s easy to hear why. It’s comfortable, balanced, and timeless - an instrument with a voice and presence far bigger than its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2121\" data-end=\"2210\"\u003eA genuine player’s vintage Martin - worn in, wide open, and ready for its next chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2121\" data-end=\"2210\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2416\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.25mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2266\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2416\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 3.0mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2290\" data-end=\"2294\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2416\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 21.58mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2416\"\u003eNut Width: 42.69mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2375\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2416\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 54.39mm\u003cbr data-start=\"2398\" data-end=\"2402\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2416\"\u003eWeight: 3.53lb \/ 1.6kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eMake: Martin\u003cbr data-start=\"2434\" data-end=\"2437\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eModel: 00-18\u003cbr data-start=\"2453\" data-end=\"2456\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eYear: 1957\u003cbr data-start=\"2470\" data-end=\"2473\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eTop: Spruce\u003cbr data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2491\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2520\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany, V-profile\u003cbr data-start=\"2549\" data-end=\"2552\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eFingerboard: Brazilian Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"2577\" data-end=\"2580\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eBridge: Brazilian Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"2600\" data-end=\"2603\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eBracing: X-braced, scalloped\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eCountry of Origin: USA\u003cbr data-start=\"2771\" data-end=\"2774\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eCase: Non-OHSC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839178236223,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G38626052","price":4747.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/25209-1.webp?v=1782095115","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/vintage-martin-00-18-usa-1957","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
