Martin 00-18H Conversion Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1937), made in Nazareth, PA, sunburst top, natural back and sides finish, mahogany back, sides and neck, spruce top and ebony fingerboard, hard shell case. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 38 1\/2 in. (97.8 cm.), 14 1\/4 in. (36.2 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.). Width of nut is 1 7\/8 in. (48 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lovely shade-top 00-18 is a superbly professional conversion from the original Hawaiian mode, including a neck set, refret with bar frets, and the original bridge carefully re-worked with a properly angled saddle. All work is of the highest level. There are several repaired cracks to the back, near the waist on the bass side, solidly sealed but not overfinished. The finish is all original with some small chips and dings overall, but the only notable loss is some old flaking of the lacquer over the pickguard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent-playing instrument with a very good sound; tha Hawaiian guitars were braced slightly heavier and have somewhat more punch than their 14-fret Spanish cousins when driven hard. A very sharp-looking prewar Martin with a great vibe, distinctive visually and sonically. Overall Excellent - Condition.","brand":"C. F.
