About This Guitar

Who needs a big iron on their hip when you can have a little Martin? Marty Robbins made the 5-18 famous but the "5" body style has been around since the 1800s, inspired by German "terz" style guitars. This 5-18 is in excellent original condition. These guitars were meant to be tuned a minor 3rd or a 4th above standard tuning (G-G or A-A) but sound just fine in standard tuning as well. This one plays great and is surprisingly loud for its size.
