Description

This 1942 Martin D-18 is a wartime-era mahogany dreadnought with a spruce top, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and original tuners still intact. With no onboard electronics, it keeps the focus on the dry, powerful acoustic voice that makes early D-18s so desirable.

Presented in great used condition, this example has had a neck reset and refret, along with non-original fretboard inlays, saddle, and bridge pins. Sealed cracks are present on the top, side, and heel, and it comes housed in a hardshell case.
