Condition NotesGood condition, Scratches and dings throughout. Given the list of repairs the guitar is stable and sounds plays wonderfully.
This 1965 Martin D-18 is the kind of guitar you pick up and immediately want to keep playing. It has that unmistakable vintage Martin sound, dry, woody, warm, and powerful, with a beautifully seasoned voice that has only gotten better with time. The guitar is in good condition with scratches and dings throughout, along with some overspray on the top, but it is stable and sounds and plays wonderfully. It has had the important work done, including a neck reset, new saddle and nut, bridge replacement and reglue, refret and fret dress, and a shimmed nut. The result is a vintage D-18 that feels comfortable in the hands, responds beautifully, and has the kind of character that makes you want to sit down and play for hours. 

Comes with hard-shell case
