Description

The country music sound is built upon the mahogany dreadnaught sound. This wartime D-18 is prime example of what the legendary Nazareth, PA maker had to offer. The scalloped braced Adirondack Spruce top supplies a loud cutting midrange sound that would be great for a bluegrass flat picker. This example has had its Ebony fingerboard and bridge replaced. It also has had a bridgeplate replacement and overspray. All of the work was tastefully done with the right materials and quite unassuming. Don't underestimate this one! Comes with Guardian Hardshell Case
