The size 2 guitar is nearly forgotten. It is smaller than a size 0. Larger than a baritone ukulele but not much. This one has had a neck reset.
The sound sample is of me playing it, badly, while tuned in fifths. It can be restrung and tuned in Chicago tuning.
his is a rare find. a genuine 1928 Martin 2-18T guitar. Serial Number is 37163. 1928 was the first year that Martin made this model. It comes with a very old guitar case that is larger than the guitar. The neck has been reset so playing is very easy. It does not appear to have been refinished, the tuners appear to be original.
There are some scratches on it, as shown. When I'm 91 years old, I'll have some scratches too.
It sounds beautiful. It it currently tuned in fifths though it can easily be retuned to Chicago tuning (DGBE).
I got the following description from another site but it appears to be accurate:
Adirondack spruce top, Honduras mahogany back, sides, and neck, Original Grover banjo tuners, Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay, Ebony fingerboard with 3 pearl dots, 12 frets to the body joint, Brazilian rosewood body binding, Wooden purflings, Ebony bridge with long saddle,
$1699 plus $100 for domestic shipping.
