A Martin D-18 sits near the top of the heap for dreadnought guitars. This example from 1951 is a great guitar for a flat picker looking for a mahogany dreadnought that achieves an almost rosewood sound in the lower register. The highs and mids are exactly what a player can expect from an excellent mahogany martin, yet the lower end references a powerful and warm low end not dissimilar from a D-28. This guitar has received a neck reset, plugged jack hole/cleat and an overspray on the back and treble side, bone saddle replacement and is ready for electronics if so desired. Instruments like these inspire players and make guitar playing enjoyable for generations.
Comes with a vintage 50s/60s lifton-style black hardshell case with grey velvet lining
