Vintage Martin Guitar

Up for BUY IT NOW/BEST OFFER is a realy nice original 1933 Martin 0-18 K, s/n 53926. This guitar looks like it was not played much, though it does have a scratches and dings from not having a case for decades. It was a one owner guitar that was stored with no case, and no strings (the top is nice and flat), so there are superficial marks on it. It is 100% crack free as far as I can tell. The only blemish/damage I see is an area in front of the bridge between the guard and the bridge that looks like something fell on it or something rubbed on it there, or it was knocked there as there were no strings on it when I got it. It looks like finish damage only. Other than that, this is a real nice pre war Koa Martin! This guitar was factory set up as a hawaiian guitar so obviously the flat bar frets have never been dressed (they cant be, as they are flush with the fingerboard), and there is no fingerboard wear on its laser straight neck. There is little to no pick marring on the top either. The guard is perfect and has not cracked the top either. The finish though beautiful shows some very light checking and some scratches, but no real playwear. Over all a very nice example of a pre war Martin. If this thing was stored is a case it would probably be mint!  The guitar has no case but will be double boxed to insure safe shipping, or if the new owner would like I could buy a case for it at their expense. Please ask any questions prior to bidding! Shipping will vary depending on your location. Figure about 45.00 close to NY and up to 85.00 to the west coast USPS Priority. Shipping will always be combined when possible! Please call if you want to discuss this in person, thanks, Rob 315 298 6797.  Please check out my other auctions for more vintage guitars and parts!!!!
