Description

This 1939 Martin D-18 has been thoughtfully maintained over the years, with a neck reset, refret, and a replaced bridge ensuring it plays cleanly up and down the neck. The soundhole shows signs of an old break that’s been plugged, and both the neck and body have received an overspray. While the repairs are evident, they sit comfortably within a guitar that wears its age with quiet confidence. The finish has matured beautifully, with a dry, woody tone to match—a strong example of a pre-war D-18 that’s still doing exactly what it was built to do. Comes with a 1970's Martin Hardshell Case.
