Description

The 1978 Martin D-18 is a classic dreadnought featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, known for its clear, punchy tone and strong midrange projection. With a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, this vintage model offers a dry, balanced voice ideal for flatpicking and vocal accompaniment. Its comfortable neck profile and traditional Martin craftsmanship make it a reliable and expressive player’s guitar. This example has undergone several repairs that can be seen in full detail under the Specs tab. Includes the original hardshell case.
