Otherwise it's a typical example, red spruce top, it sounds and plays just great, warm midrange with lively pretty trebles. There is an area one side of the back of the headstock where they finish had dulled for some reason. It had one small, short crack on the side that Mark stabilized, otherwise, it's crack-free. It is in great shape for it's age, but does have the typical dings and scratches. I'm not sure if the neck has ever been reset or not (no evidence that it had) and I didn't feel that it needed it when I got the guitar. The frets were dressed by Mark Tossman not long after I got it, and they are still in great shape. It has both the Martin decal and the stamp on the back of the headstock, a transitional pre-war model. The Martin is an early '34 with bar frets, my #1 acoustic for the last few years. Both guitars come with nice modern hard cases that fit them well. I'm selling my 1934 Martin 0-18, and also an early 30s Duolian.
