Very nice, looks almost new, original 1950 Martin 0-18 serial number 116511. Perfect action and sounds bigger then it is. Original frets are excellent. Original laquer finish is beautiful with only one crack on the top bout bass side that is so tight and hard to see, that it might only be in the laquer finish. A strap rub next to the neck heal strap button and a few bumps and scratches, but over all in excellent condition.
email me for more photos. $5,800 jimwitt19@gmail.com

That's a very pretty thing! There's nothing more elegant than a grand auditorium Martin.
Not a prospective buyer, but I wanted to express my pleasure at seeing such a piece here. (I have a '27 0-18, a '47 000-18, a '52 000-21 and a late (2004 Custom Shop 000-28).
I never took to the aesthetics of the Dreadnoughts....
In a perfect world, I'd add an 000-45 but they're beyond the reach of most.
