Martin 00-18E Model Flat Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar (1964), made in Nazareth, PA, natural lacquer finish, spruce top, mahogany neck, sides \u0026amp; back, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, black tolex hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA good example of Martin's earliest attempt at an electric guitar; essentially a rergular 00-18 with a magnetic DeArmond pickup and controls added. Unlike the similar Gibson J-160E the Martin is still a solid wood X-braced guitar and has a surprisingly good acoustic sound. Standard period 00-18 features; mahogany body and neck, spruce top, Brazillian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, tortoise celluloid binding and pickguard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting and unusual guitar�not one of Martin's greatest successes perhaps but a cool period piece, with some uncommon sonic possibilities. It does a fabulous Elmore James impression, for one!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 39 1\/4 in. (99.7 cm.), 14 3\/8 in. (36.5 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1\/8 in. (10.5 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall very good with some average playwear; the tuners are period Grovers, although the guitar appears to have had Kluson-style keys mounted at some point. The chrome surface surround for the pickup looks to have been removed long ago (there is no difference in the finish fade) and the guitar looks and plays very well. Excellent Condition.","brand":"C.
