Description

This 1941 Martin D-18 is a solid example of an early wartime dreadnought, known for its balanced tone and strong projection. It’s had a professional neck reset and refret, with a shim added under the fingerboard extension for proper fit and playability. Other repairs include a bridge reglue, B-string crack repair reinforced with two maple cleats, and a new saddle and bridge pins. Structurally sound and set up for reliable performance, this D-18 delivers the clear, focused sound characteristic of prewar Martins. Cosmetically, it remains surprisingly clean for its age with light evidence of player wear on its top and several notable finish scratches and dings on its back and sides.

Includes Original Case Company hard shell case.
