Martin Vintage 1945 000-18 Natural With OHSC - UsedThis 1945 Martin 000 18 is a fine example of a late war era Martin guitar. Visually, the Adirondack Spruce top boasts an extremely straight and consistent grain. The mahogany back is also particularly straight with streaks of dark chocolates and golden yellows with variations in between. Tonally, this instrument is dry and woody.

This 1945 Martin 000-18 is a fine example of a late-war-era Martin guitar. Visually, the Adirondack Spruce top boasts an extremely straight and consistent grain. The mahogany back is also particularly straight with streaks of dark chocolates and golden yellows with variations in between. Tonally, this instrument is dry and woody. Exactly what you would hope for from a mid-40’s mahogany Martin. It performs well at a light touch. The top is extremely quick and responsive. This 000 can handle a strum as well before breaking up. The mahogany neck is topped with a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. The neck profile is comfortable and manageable with a soft centered V.

As far as condition, the instrument has been played and it shows. There is light wear at the soundhole and the instrument has its fair share of play wear and light scratches on the body, neck and headstock. The case lid latch at some point has been closed on the guitar and going through the top on the bass side below the waist. This is clean through but has no impact on the integrity of the instrument as it’s clearly been this way for quite some time. The top has some beautiful lacquer checking as well. The cowboy chord positions have some divots in the board but overall, it and the frets are in great shape. The neck has been reset in the past and very nicely at that. There is plenty of room at the saddle. The bridge has been reglued but does appear to be original. The bridgeplate is maple and appears to be original as well. At some point there was a hit to the back that left a small mark and a small crack in the grain which have been repaired and sealed since.

The instrument comes with the original case which is still functional and in decent shape for its age.

No Bending Required, No Hands Needed
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
The shoe is a good fit and run true to size, and color and quality are as advertised. Easy to slip on and off, without bending to do it.

The "Lazy Professional" Look: Is Hands-Free Luxury Actually Real?
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Napa Leather
Living down here in Florida, my footwear needs are pretty specific. It’s hot, it’s humid, and I spent half my life rushing from the car into work or a meeting. I’ve reached that age where I value efficiency just as much as style—maybe more. I’ve been eyeing the Marc Joseph New York Hands-Free Slip-on Penny Loafers for a while, and after putting them through the wringer, here is the honest truth from someone who just wants to look sharp without the hassle. The "Just Step-In" Reality Look, the big selling point here is the "Hands-Free" tech. We’ve all seen the commercials for those athletic slip-ins, but finding that in a legitimate leather penny loafer is a different game. Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well. The heel counter is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you slide your foot in, but it doesn’t feel like a piece of plastic digging into your Achilles once you’re in. For those of us who are tired of bending over or hunting for a shoehorn every morning, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. The Florida Factor: Comfort and Style The leather is actual calfskin (on most models), which is a must for the Florida heat. Synthetic shoes turn into a sauna within ten minutes, but these breathe reasonably well. The aesthetic is classic—it’s a "professor" shoe through and through. You can wear them with chinos and a blazer for work or throw them on with some nice jeans for a weekend lunch. Inside, they’ve got a gel heel insert and a padded footbed. It’s not quite "walking on a cloud"—let’s not over-hype it—but it’s a massive step up from the hard, flat soles of traditional dress loafers. I’ve spent four hours on my feet lecturing, and my arches didn’t hate me by the end of the day. The Sizing Gamble Here’s where you need to be careful. The consensus from other guys (and my own experience) is that the sizing is a bit of a coin toss. They tend to run a little large and sometimes wide. If you have narrow feet, you might find the sides "gaping" or flaring out when you walk, which kills the sleek look. I’d recommend ordering a half-size down if you’re usually between sizes. The Breakdown The Pros: True Hands-Free: You can actually put these on while holding a coffee and a briefcase. No hands needed. Legit Materials: The calf leather feels premium and smells like the real deal. Versatility: Perfectly bridges the gap between a "car shoe" and a formal loafer. Comfort: The gel insert makes a noticeable difference for long-duration wear. The Cons: Sizing Inconsistency: They can run wide, leading to some "heel slip" if you don't get the perfect fit. Break-in Period: The heel is stiff by design (to allow for the slip-on feature), so expect a day or two of minor stiffness. Price Point: They aren't cheap, though often on sale. Value for Money Are they worth it? If you’re comparing them to high-end Italian brands that cost $500, these are an absolute steal. They look 90% as good for a fraction of the price. However, if you're used to $60 mall shoes, the jump to $150+ might feel steep until you realize you’re paying for the convenience of never having to touch your shoes to put them on. For a daily driver in a professional setting, the value is definitely there.
