Description

This 1939 Martin D-18 is the real deal, baby—an exceptionally clean pre-war example that’s held up beautifully over the decades. It’s had a non-original bridge, bridge plate, and frets installed, all done in a way that keeps the guitar structurally healthy and playing at its best. Condition-wise, it’s remarkably strong for an instrument of its age, with that unmistakable dry, woody thump only an old D-18 can deliver. The playability is excellent, responsive, and full of life, making it feel far younger than it is. A truly inspiring pre-war Martin with tone, vibe, and history packed into every note. Comes with a HSC.
