Description

Understated and timeless, a vintage Martin D-18 is the lifelong companion of a singer-songwriter; this example showing the wear to suggest such a purpose for the past 60 years. With moderate player wear throughout, this guitar displays a beautiful patina. It has undergone a neck reset, and bridge replacement, resulting in excellent action and solid playability with saddle height that can still be lowered if desired. The bridge plate was replaced with an overused footprint maple one; there is some bellying remaining behind the bridge. Additionally, the guitar has been refretted, with the nut and saddle replaced, and a strap pin added at the heel. Thanks to these repairs, this guitar is ready for its next musical journey. Moreover, a faithful K&K has been installed for live performance.

OHSC with tape repairs and replacement handle included.
