A pre-war D-18 is one of the most desirable vintage guitars out there. This 1939 example, while not factory original, has been tastefully restored to playing shape with lots of character to the top remaining. The warm vintage tone woods leave its tone pure and balanced, with rich lows and responsive highs. It also features the more desired wide nut measuring at 1.748".This guitar has had newer finish applied all over (a refinish to the mahogany sections and overspray elsewhere). The tuners, bridge, frets, nut, saddle, and bridge pins have been replaced. Additionally, it's benefitted from a neck reset, fretboard plane and refret, and a plug repair to the original bridge plate. This guitar sustained a headstock break, but it was promptly glued back in alignment with all of its wood fibers and was given a finish touchup that allowed it blend back in.Includes 1980s thermoplastic Martin hard shell case.

The Martin D-18 is a true icon in the world of acoustic guitars. First introduced in 1931, the D-18 has established itself as a mainstay in genres like folk, country, and bluegrass. 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.
