This is an 018 style guitar that I built. Its made from all Martin parts. This was the second guitar that I built and all in all its a pretty nice guitar. I built it to be more of an old-time style guitar than anything else.
Mahogany body and neck
Spruce top
Ivoroid binding
Since it was my second guitar, there are a couple of things that aren't super great.
- The finish is checking. I used a spray finish that I never really liked, but it works. I was going to sand it off, but decided not to. The pick guard left some residue on the top. I have a new black pick guard I will throw in if that is something you'd like.
- The high E string tuning machine is drilled a little off.
- The frets could use crowning, I never minded them, so I never did it.
Overall its a nice sounding guitar, Ive played it on and off for the last few years. Photos show nut riser on it, which I'm keeping.
I decided that I would rather play guitars than build them, and need some of the space back that this one was taking up.
Comes with a functional tweed case.
I'd like to trade it for:
- Nice reverb pedal
Maybe you have something else that might pique my interest... who knows...

Were the sides already bent, or did you do it Adam?

| Sides were bent. I was told that the body was glued up by Martin as a test, I have no idea if that's true. But I finished the sanding, routing and binding. |
