Martin 00-18G 1958 (consignment) SOLD

Here is a very clean Martin 00-18G, built in 1958.

In the late 1950’s folk music revivals started in many countries. In response to this, instrument companies started making more nylon string instruments, which differ from what we now call ‘classical’ instruments in many ways. They are based on steel-string instruments, are intended to be strummed or plucked, and the neck is narrow enough that you can use your thumb for fretting!

Linda Manzer Custom Cutaway - Indian Rosewood 1980 (consignment) SOLD

This is a lovely guitar by Linda Manzer, built in 1980 in Toronto. It’s been played – as it should be! – and is in good shape. It speaks very well with clear, articulated trebles and a full yet not overwhelming bass. The inlay is very well executed, and all around this is a wonderful instrument.
