GUEST,Felix Martin 00 wanted. (46) RE: Martin 00 wanted. 06 Sep 07


Hi
I have a 1924 OO-18 in wonderful condition. I have owned it since 1975, when I was given it by my ex-girlfriend's grandfather, who had owned it since new- so it is a 2-owner guitar. He only played 'Hawaiian style' on it - so it hadn't been fretted until I got it. It had slight intonation issues - so I had a reknowned Australian luthier fit a replacement bridge with a compensated saddle in 1976. I still have the original bridge. It comes in its original, hand-stitched, top-loading leather case. It sounds incredible, great balance across the strings and amazingly resonant. A strummed chord lasts 17 seconds to inaudible. It is the loudest small-bodied guitar I have ever played and eats my OM28V in all departments. The 1924 was built for both steel & nylon strings. I use silk & steel to lessen neck tension.
I travel to the UK occasionally. If you are genuinely interested, I would part with it for around 9,000 pounds.

Otherwise - eat your heart out!
Cheers
Felix
