This 1941 D-18 is a classic, offering the quintessential dry, punchy tone that has made it a favorite among guitarists for decades. Its rich, seasoned sound makes it an excellent choice for singer-songwriters and flatpickers alike, delivering the power and warmth you’d expect from an instrument of this era. To ensure its continued playability, the guitar has undergone several key repairs. Most notably, it has been re-topped with Sitka spruce, refinished, and had a headstock crack professionally repaired. Additional work includes a neck reset, replaced tuners, bridge, saddle, and nut, a new pickguard, and a repaired back crack on the bass side of the upper bout. These updates ensure the guitar is structurally sound and ready for many more years of music-making. It comes with a non-original Martin hardshell case.
