A monstrous pre war D-18! This guitar has an extensive repair list but it is structurally sound and has the much sought after tone of a pre war dread. Thunderous bass, punchy mids, and crisp highs with an overall dry woody voice, this guitar is loud and proud! Comes with a hard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
