Description

85 years old, but looks like it could have been built in the last 5 years. This absolutely gorgeous 1941 D-18 in excellent structural condition is about ideal as it comes for a great playing collector piece. It has had a recent neck reset and bridge replacement done in house and it is expert work. Moreover, the bridge plate is original and the inside is very clean. Martin definitely hit their stride before the war came in 1942 and restricted materials and manpower. This one is from the golden age.
