1954 Martin OO-18G
Summary: This is Martin's version of a modern Nylon-string guitar, and it is delightful. These models have many of the 00-18 style earmarks and appointments in common with 00-18 steel string guitars of the same period, with a couple of exceptions. The Nylon string models have matching 14 fret body "shapes," but their necks join the body at the 12th fret. Additionally, except for some of their early examples dating from the mid-1930's, Martin chose to use a "fan" bracing pattern that was also "scalloped" on these G models, and they also have a 2-inch nut width and loop string bridges. Like their steel string brethren from the same period, these feature Mahogany neck and body construction, Spruce tops and Rosewood fingerboards with matching "loop" style bridges.Body: Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides. Neck: Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard, 24 3/8” scale length, 2” nut width, dot inlays on the top of fingerboard.Pickups/Hardware: Classical slotted headstock tuning keys, no pick
