1956 Martin 0-18T Tenor acoustic: Adirondack Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides. This little gal has a very sweet, well balanced tone; a strong but restrained voice that cuts through a mix. This model was only available as a special order from 1929-1993. The tenor guitar gained popularity in the early part of the 20th century as banjo players started gravitating towards the guitar, but didn't want to learn a whole new set of chords and scales, the tenor guitar being tuned the same as a tenor banjo. This model was played by Nick Reynolds of the Kingston Trio, and was reissued in a limited number of 34 upon the 40th anniversary of the Trio in 1997.
