Official Luthiers Forum!

A friend of mine living in the Denver area recently inherited a Martin 00-18C (he believe's it's a 1962, which is the first production year).

He sent me a picture of it and asked if A) I was interested in buying it (i'm not very interested), or B) if I could help him find someone who could look it over and assess it's condition and value, so he can sell it to someone else.

I'm looking to give him a reference to a local Denver area luthier/tech who could give a fair assessment of the instruments value, and perhaps some advice on how/where to sell it.

Here is a link to a picture.

According to him it's been in it's case in a closet for most of it's life, and appears to be in mint condition.

Thanks in advance

Oh wow, I wish,.......that is a nice guitar, he could put it up at the AFG forum, or ask at the "Martin" forum (or you could).

I will be happy to play it if he is around the Boulder area, just to make sure its a nice guitar...

Tell him to look up Edward Dick at the Ole Town Pickin Parlor in Arvada. He should be able to give you an honest evaulation of the guitar.

Thanks Robbie,

I passed that information on.
