Description

A beautiful refinished 1937 Martin D-18 that plays fantastic updated with a neck reset, a shimmed fingerboard, replaced bridge/saddle, and new frets for an updated feel with recent work and a clean bill of health from Mark Tossman. Super clean and cosmetically excellent with worn edges, minor dings, and general wear from use. It sounds incredible producing tons of harmonics, impressive headroom, and all of the sonic character you'd expect from a well-cared-for but played guitar. The neck features a thicker soft-V profile that connects beautifully with the body for tons of projection with strong resonance throughout. This is a killer vintage Martin Dreadnought! Includes non-original hardshell case, the original bridge, and the original saddle.

About D-18

With its solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it delivers a balanced tone characterized by warm bass and clear treble. Musicians love its playability and rugged construction, making it reliable for both studio sessions and live performances.
