Archtop-Electric & Acoustic1938 Martin R-18
Sunburst, first full year that Martin made their archtops with a carved spruce top. Willie found this in a cool little store in Seattle and loved its tone. The guitar was owned by a woman who used it professionally in the Ohio area. We are told she played with a band called the Melody Maids and even had spent time with her own radio show in Ohio.
This lovely guitar is hand carved spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck. Ebony fingerboard and bridge. Original Grover tuners and tailpiece. Four layers of top binding, Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay. No cracks and a cool original hard shell case. A charming guitar with rich tone and delicate overtones. $2750 On Hold
