Description

This 1942 D-18 is one of the best to come through the shop in a minute. For the most part, it's only undergone light modifications and needed repairs to keep it in great playing shape. It has excellent playability and an incredibly defined, responsive and open sound - truly lives up to the Martin "cannon" reputation. Notable repairs include a neck reset, fretboard plane and refret, replacement bridge and maple bridge plate cap. There was a puncture repair on the bass side shoulder and a large crack repair on the back treble side. For a list of its full repairs and modifications, check out our specs tab.

Includes TKL hard shell case.
