When it comes to flatpicking, it’s tough to beat an old Martin D-18! This example is perfectly played in, with the sort of playing wear reserved for the best sounding guitars out there. This instrument is dry and punchy, with a beautiful clarity often present in Martins from this era. Straight-braced, this guitar has plenty of balance, volume and responsiveness. While traditionally used as a bluegrass flatpicking machine, this D-18 is equally suited to folky strumming and fingerpicking a-la Bob Dylan.
This example is in very good overall condition and has undergone the following repairs: neck reset, refret, bridge re-glue, cleated b-string crack, replaced bridge pins, replaced strap pin, replaced saddle.
HSC included.
