The closest thing to a time machine you can buy to travel back to gather 'round the family radio for the Grand Ole Opry might just be this Martin D-18. 5 years before the renowned country radio show made its home at the historic Ryman Auditorium, the good folks in Nazareth, PA made this beautiful dreadnought. Boasting the breathtaking tone of a pre-war Martin, this D-18 has been beautifully maintained ever since. Its Adirondack Spruce top and Mahogany body have been patched, but kept alive through the diligent efforts of luthiers over the years. All of the work listed in the "Specs" tab result in a true heirloom instrument that's hard to put down once the strumming's begun.
Includes Calton Hardshell Case.
