Description

This 1963 Martin D-18 is a prime example of a golden-era dreadnought, featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides for a warm, balanced tone with strong midrange presence and clear articulation. The original Brazilian rosewood fingerboard adds to its vintage appeal, while the comfortable neck profile makes it a joy to play. With its dry, woody voice and excellent projection, this D-18 is a fantastic choice for flatpicking, strumming, or vocal accompaniment—an inspiring, road-tested classic from one of Martin’s most revered decades. This example has undergone several key repairs to ensure its playability for years to come. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes a Mono gig bag.
