Description

A D-18 is the songwriter's best friend; many say its the only guitar you will ever need. While 80 years old, it has a healthy Sitka Spruce top with its original bridge plate. At some point, the guitar sustained some rim and back cracks, but it was also repaired years ago and is sturdy despite the cosmetics. For those looking for a solid 1940's D-18, this is quite the contender.
