Description
Martin D-18 1969 – surely one of the nicest D-18 form the 60’s we’ve ever come across – you rarely find such a powerful and dynamic sound!
As one of the original Dreadnoughts, the D-18 has captured the hearts of players since the early 1930s.
From Elvis to David Crosby, the D-18 has been in the hands of legendary players for decades.
Similar to the D-28 (without rosewood) this D-18 sounds incredibly warm and loud compared to many other dreadnought guitars.
The woods have opened up nicely and the guitar has a charming woody sound.
It combines in an incredible way a great dynamic and volume with the mild nuance that can only come from a great vintage guitar.
Everything that a lover of vintage guitars wants to have, he will get with this guitar.
This Martin D-18 is perfectly adjusted and plays very well with a low action and a straight neck (had a neck reset).
The guitar is a player and it has a few repairs to the back. It also had a repair at the neck and the back of the neck has been refinished. The odd thing is that the serial number on the neck block has been sanded and is no longer visible. We don’t know why that has been done. According to the specs it is a late 60’s D-18 and the information of the last owner confirms that it is from 1969. It has a piezo pickup installed – brand unknown.
All in all this is a rock soldid players grade guitar, with an amazing sound at an affordable price.
It comes with the original Martin case.
