Description

Nothing quite sings like an old D-18 with forward shifted x-bracing. The articulation of this example is beyond many we have had; much in large to its conservative maintenance despite heavy playwear in its life. The original bridge plate is in place and no popsicle brace has been added; this is rare to find. A freshly made ebony bridge was installed and provides a strong base for the saddle. This guitar has a large open sound only found with decades of being someone's main guitar. We hope it finds its next forever home!

Comes in original hardshell case with purple lining; has stencils of the following words that may indicate its previous owner: "Skyriders," "Snake," and "Cornbuster"
