Description

Vintage original 1975 Martin D-18 in clean and original condition with a super nice FRAP pickup installed. Neck is nice and straight and plays great all the way up and down without buzz or issue.   Tone is remarkably sweet.  One of the best playing and sounding '70s D-18's we have had. A clean and original example, completely original with the exception of a replaced pickguard (very hard to tell) and an added Martin / Fishman pickup.   Also included is a FRAP pickup inside the guitar that is not currently functioning.   This is a vintage pickup system used by Neil Young and others.   It sounds great with the pickup that is currently installed. No cracks no breaks, no issues. Comes with original Martin hardshell case.

About D-18

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.
