1967 Martin 0-18 vintage guitar

Description: You are looking at vintage Martin model 0-18 made in mid 1967, serial number 222XXX. The guitar has all original parts except for slightly oversized pickguard. It recently went through a complete restoration process and sports that vintage Martin tone everyone is after. It's not the "prettiest girl on the block" as you can see. Long time ago someone was trying to remove the bridge and in process of overheating damaged some top finish and even some top wood in a few places. These scars can't be hidden but they are well and securely repaired. Guitar is perfectly fine now except for some cosmetic flaws mentioned above. Thus the lower selling price. However when it comes to sound this 0-18 will compete with any after war production of the same model Martin, old factory or new. Below is a list of work performed during restoration. It will also give you a good idea about guitar's condition. * Top - heat damaged finish is covered with shellac, small piece of spruce added under the bridge on the treble side, a few unnoticeable cracks are glued and cleats installed under the top * Back and sides - some finish checking on the back none on sides, some scratches and dings but no cracks * Braces - all original braces are there plus a small Spruce reinforcement behind the bridge plate * Bridge plate- the bridge plate is original, "small" Maple plate * Tuners - original Grove tuners completely restored and oiled, function well. Some winding scratches on bass side of headstock * Neck - straight with good relief, strings height is 6.5/64 on the bass side. Saddle is kind of low, but can still go down a hair if needed * Frets - show very minor wear leveled and dressed * Finish - other than the spot behind the bridge all finish is original with no evidence of over-spray As with almost any guitar of this vintage it sports a fair share of dings and scratches, but nothing serious other than what's already described. It's strung with .011 strings currently and handles them with ease. Guitar comes with a chipboard case, not sure if it's original, but probably not. I will pack with a LOT of cushion for shipping. Feel free to ask any questions and thanks for looking. US sales only. YouTube sound sample link, recorded with Samsung S23 phone: https://youtu.be/g0glpuuvCGM
