Description

This 1963 Martin D-18 is a classic dreadnought with all the dry, woody tone and clear articulation you'd expect from a great vintage mahogany guitar. It’s had a handful of practical repairs and updates over the years, including a professional neck reset, a replacement bridge, and a plugged and redrilled bridge plate to keep things structurally sound. A set of Grover tuners have been installed for improved tuning ability, and a pickup has been added. It has a decent amount of wear, with a large spot on the back oversprayed.

Includes vintage Lifton hard shell case.
