Description

This fantastic pre-war D-18 has seen many years of hard playing and is ready for years to come! It has the much sought after combination of forward shifted and scalloped X bracing, which opens up the top under the bridge to vibrate more freely and provides a powerful bass response. It has been well loved; modifications and repairs are noted in the spec list. Comes with a hard 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.
