You are looking at a 2018 Martin D-18 Authentic 1939 aged reissue with Adirondack spruce VTS top, mahogany back & sides and awesome authentic aging! If you are looking for an extra special acoustic, this one is truly the “holy grail”. This has an awesome vintage vibe in both appearance and tone. They say it is hard to duplicate a genuine vintage tone.. but Martin seems to have found a way. The guitar is truly an inspiration to play. She's 100% original and we just put on a fresh new set of 12-54’s, so she’s all dressed up and ready to rock!

There is no actual play wear to report. Also included is the original Martin hard shell case and the case candy, just as shown in the last picture!
