Note: CVG technicians use calipers to provide the accurate measurements found above. While instrument makers may aim for, and even market, certain nut widths for their models, we acknowledge variance within the manufacturing process and treat each instrument as an individual case. We believe that transparency of the instrument’s true measurements, down to decimal form, is essential for customers choosing to purchase remotely with confidence. The following are common industry nut width fractions converted to decimal form
1 9/16”: 1.563”
1 5/8”: 1.625”
1 11/16”: 1.688”
1 3/4”: 1.750”

Here's a great little guitar that will fill a unique hole in any guitar collection. The Martin 5-18 finds its origins in the 1800's, reflecting on European Terz guitars. These instruments fit into a very unique tonal range, generally tuned up a minor third, Terz guitars fit a specific sonic space in orchestras. This example from Martin is a wonderful little guitar that suits standard tuning or tuned up a minor third for the Terz guitar sound. While this is the perfect guitar for players of smaller stature, it's truly a great tool for any musician looking to expand tonal range. This example from 1972 had an under saddle pickup added and Schaller tuners
Comes with a original hardshell case.
