This 1937 Martin D-18 is a pre-war classic that has been extensively and professionally restored, including a complete refinish, neck reset, refret, new bridge, new nut and saddle, replaced bridge plate, repaired X-brace, repaired top and back cracks, reglued pickguard, repaired heel crack next heel cap, repaired top beneath the fingerboard extension, and a plugged strap button hole on the bass side of the neck.

The result is an exceptional player with everything you'd hope for from a great pre-war D-18. It has an unbelievable midrange, remarkable dynamic range, and an open, mature voice that responds effortlessly to the lightest touch while delivering plenty of power when pushed. This is a guitar that has been brought back to life and is ready to be enjoyed for many years to come. 

Comes with 70's Martin hardshell case.
