Description

This 1948 D-18 delivers the rich, vintage Martin tone and superb playability that musicians love. Its warm, well-seasoned voice makes it an excellent choice for singer-songwriters and flatpickers looking for a responsive and powerful instrument. To preserve its integrity, it has received several necessary repairs, detailed in the specs tab. With comfortable action and a beautifully broken-in feel, this guitar is ready for its next chapter. Includes a period-correct Lifton hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
