There’s a dry, woody fundamental with a clear, focused midrange and a sweet, open top end and the smaller 00 body size makes for an incredibly immediate and intimate playing experience, equally at home with fingerstyle, flatpicking or strumming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1293\"\u003ePresented in very good condition for its age, this guitar has been well cared for across its 75- year lifetime, with only very light playwear throughout and no sign of any splits, cracks or repairs. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe neck has a comfortable, effortless feeling medium-C profile with a hint of V that thickens nicely towards the body. The frets appear original as does the nut. The bridge saddle has split between the D and G strings, however remains fully functional and with room left for height adjustment. The current action is however very comfortable, and plays very easily across the whole neck. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1293\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAs expected, it’s an extremely resonant instrument, with a lively response that rewards a nuanced touch. There is a really pleasant, dry growl to the lower mids that balances perfectly with the top end. One of the reasons we love a Spruce\/Mahogany small bodied Martins! Put simply this is one of the nicer examples we've heard, and it has proven a difficult instrument to put down among staff members! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1293\"\u003eA superb, well looked after example that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480661614931,"sku":"118389","price":6495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/7258\/4275\/files\/1951Martin00-18-6.jpg?v=1774877463","url":"https:\/\/www.atbguitars.com\/products\/1951-martin-00-18-copy","provider":"ATB Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
