Certain guitars are simply the standard by which all others are judged, the Pre-war Martin D-18 is always one of them.

What can we say? This is the real deal from the most desirable era of D-18. This guitar has a huge open sound, well played in and well cared for. This a true investment and player - probably one of the finest examples in existence, with original hard shell case.

The finish is all original. The guitar has had a replacement bridge provided by expert Vintage Luthier, TJ Thompson, refret and neck reset.
