Incredible Vintage 1950's Martin Classical, Untouched (£2,150)

Date posted: Sunday 8th November

Location: n w london

Gutting sale of my rare and untouched 1959 Martin 00-18G Classical nylon string guitar.

No issues, no dings, no cracks, no nothing. It has some honest wear (finish checking from age and minimal play wear), but that is it. Quite amazing for a 50 year old.
The neck is straight as an arrow, the machine heads keep in tune better than just about any acoustic I've played.. It really is a remarkable example of a vintage 1950's Martin classical. It's a beautiful guitar and plays amazingly.

A little extra info:
The same model has been owned by some of the best musicians ever (Eric Clapton and Woody Guthrie to name a few..) In fact, the same model was sold at the the Christies Auction of Eric Claptons' guitars in 2004 for $27,000. Clapton himself commented on the amazing tone and playability of the Martin 00-18G, saying that he used this guitar a lot because of it's rich tone and ease of playing. He said that the gut strings make it an ideal solo instrument, and a great house guitar.

This guitar has served me well only having very light home use. I bought it ideally for an investment to keep for another 50 years, however, I am forced to sell due to financial reasons. It's the best example of it's kind I've seen and will surely increase in price greatly in years to come.

Comes in top quality perfect fitting hardcase with padded red velvety interior (I doubt it's original, as it's far nicer looking and better quality than original 50's hardcases which had very little protection for the guitar).
