1969 Martin 00-18 ‘Lina’

This Martin 00-18 serial number 248197 left Nazareth Pennsylvania in early 1969 bound for a music store in Santa Cruz California, according to the small sticker inside. From there it came to Australian singer-songwriter Lina Eve who has owned, played and recorded with it for the past 50 years. A lightweight 3lbs4oz, this classic concert sized Martin 00-18 with Mahogany back & sides, Sitka Spruce top and Rosewood fretboard is loud, responsive across the fretboard and charismatic. Reflected in the price are the replacement bridge, pickguard and mini Schaller tuners.  Comes with its form-fit 1960s red-lined hard case in very good condition.
