Jim Reeves 1955 Martin 5-18 Guitar
<B>Jim Reeves 1955 Martin 5-18 Guitar.</B></I> Here is a pint-sized Martin & Co. model number 5-18 acoustic guitar once owned by country singer Jim Reeves to compose many of his songs. The Martin 5-18 was typically a travel guitar; all components of a full-size Martin were shrunk down to a compact size -- perfect for playing on a tour bus. And that is exactly what Reeves did with this 1955 Martin (serial number 142050). Tragically, Reeves was killed in a plane crash a few weeks after his 1964 tour. The guitar remains as a song-writer's legacy and important part of Country music history. In Very Good condition though it is missing its guitar strap knob and has small dings and scratches from normal wear. <I>Accompanied by COA listing provenance history from the Jim Reeves Estate to present and serial number.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Other (TBD) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
