Description

This early '70s D-18 - the quintessential Martin dreadnought - is presented here with a documented history of professional repair work, including a replaced pickguard, six repaired cracks, a reinforced bridge plate, an oversprayed top, and a neck reset with compression refret. These repairs address common structural concerns for Martins of this age, and have been carried out to help this guitar carry a sturdy tune for decades to come. As such, it is a vintage Martin that sounds every bit the part at a more obtainable price point. It remains a straightforward example of a 1970s D-18 that has seen regular use and careful maintenance over time. Includes 2000s Martin HSC.
