Description

This pre-war D-18 is a fantastic sounding guitar with true vintage Martin tone and excellent playability. It has gone through substantial repairs, but is in stable condition and ready for its next player. Repairs include a refret, neck reset, reglued bridge, plugged and drilled bridge plate, and a reglued bridge. Additionally, there was substantial cracking on the top, treble side, and treble lower side that has been repaired with cleats. Overspray, a replacement saddle, nut and tuners top it off. Its tone is perfectly balanced with crisp highs and responsive bass, and its action is set on the higher side, but plenty of saddle to adjust.

Includes modern Martin HSC
