Description

This 1957 Martin D-18 brings bellowing tone and a crisp high-end for an all around excellent sounding instrument. It's undergone a neck reset and has buttery playability with plenty of saddle left to reach your optimal string height. It's had a few crack repairs as well, some of which have been oversprayed. For a full list of its repairs and modifications, check out our specs tab.

Includes modern Martin hard shell case.
