Martin 0-18 Steel String Guitar Natural, 1917 / *No Longer Available*

Here we’re looking at a Martin 0-18 dating to 1917 and built at the Martin plant in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. This fully functional and good sounding guitar is over a century old! Over the years, this Martin 0-18 guitar has had an amount of service. Virtually all steel string guitars of a certain age will require a neck reset, and that was done on this guitar some time ago. It has been refretted.

❌SOLD❌ Martin Style 2 Soprano Ukulele, 1940s

On August 20, 2022   /    
❌SOLD❌ Martin Style 2 Soprano Ukulele, 1940s

Appearing in catalogs from 1919 to 1965, the Martin Style 2 Soprano, tenor and concert ukuleles were built with Mahogany for the body and neck, with Brazilian Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge. Here we’re looking at a Martin Style 2 Soprano Ukulele built during the 1940’s. Martin ukes tended to not have serial numbers, so dating can be imprecise. This example is in remarkably good, clean condition with light wear, mostly from strumming. It’s one of the best preserved we have seen from this era. It plays well, and has the warm open tone that a Mahogany top provides.

❌SOLD❌ Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 1968

Introduced in 1965 and still in production, the Martin D-35 Dreadnought design addressed a practical issue – tighter wood supplies. Demand for the very popular D-28 model was high but the larger sections of Rosewood – Brazilian, at the time – were in short supply.

PRS Santana II Salmon, 2000 *No Longer Available*

Built from 1999 to 2007, the PRS Santana II updated the Santana I model introduced in 1995, and was succeeded by the Santana III. All followed the same basic formula of a carved Maple cap on a Mahogany body, with a set Mahogany neck and 11.5 inch radius Rosewood fingerboard. The PRS Santana II has been the most expensive of the three models, with Artist-grade matched flamed Maple tops, high grade and Brazilian Rosewood for the fingerboard and head plate.
