Martin OM-18 Sunburst, 1932 ❌SOLD❌

Comments	This is a rare 1932 Martin OM-18 Sunburst. During 1932, the C. F. Martin guitar company produced 3,000 instruments in total. The OM-18 features the Orchestra Model body, with a tighter waist and slightly narrower bouts than the Dreadnought design. It’s also sometimes known as the 000 size. As an 18 model, it is made from mahogany with a spruce top and bracing. It has been serviced, with a neck reset performed in our shop some years ago.
Serial Number	51839, built during 1932 at the C. F. Martin plant in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

Playability/Action	This instrument was reset in the past in our shop. The neck is quite straight and the guitar plays well.
