WTB Martin 00-18 **SORTED** Thanks for the replies

Chiliwailer

I know it’s a long shot, but it’d need to be around north London as travelling is an issue for me right now and I’d prefer not to do this via post. 

Looking for a clean Martin 00-18, or perhaps a 00-18v.

Cheers!

Not Martin but their take on the 00 shape. I have 2 Audens (but not this model). The quality is outstanding on both and the price is probably half what you'd pay for a martin. 

On top of that, the Brad Clark Supernatural active pickup system is the best I've ever heard.

I have no affiliation with Auden but am just a very happy customer & want to spread the word.

I’d drop by Glenn’s guitars, he’s in Enfield and has a great collection of Martins in stock. He may have an 00-18 that’s not yet live on his site.

There's a 00-18v on Preloved right now at £1,750.  The owner is in Manea, Cambridgeshire apparently, but I've had a couple of lucky episodes this year where a friend/relative of the vendor was working near me and could arrange a drop off.  Might be worth a look?  Good luck with your search.

A lovely new 00-18, from a friend in the trade who sorted me out a great deal. 

Very pleased with it, cheers
