Description

This 1943 Martin D-18 is one of the cleanest wartime examples to grace our shop! It's undergone only minimal repair over its 80+ years, with a neck reset, a B-string crack repair, a bridge reglue and replacement ebony pins. Cosmetically, it has enough wear to give it some character, but still remains very clean for its age. Its open, dry tone is unbeatable - a perfect strumming companion or bluegrass cannon.

Includes vintage Geib hard shell 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.
