Martin D-18

The Martin D-18 is one of the absolute classics in acoustic guitar making and has been synonymous with a clear, direct and assertive dreadnought sound for decades. The combination of spruce top and mahogany body ensures a quick response, dry basses and warm, present mids – exactly the sound that has made this model so popular.

The guitar is equipped with an all-solid construction, Golden Era Spruce X-Bracing and high-quality materials such as ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. This creates a very balanced, dynamic sound with plenty of clarity and definition. The Martin D-18 responds very directly to playing and is ideal for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle.

The guitar was built in 2021 and was purchased by the first owner in July 2022. It is in mint condition and shows no significant signs of use. The frets, neck and overall substance are correspondingly fresh and in excellent condition.

The guitar has been carefully checked and optimally adjusted by us. The neck curvature and string action are perfectly adjusted so that the guitar can be played cleanly and without buzzing across the entire fretboard.

The string action is
2.5 mm on the low E-string and
2.0 mm on the high E-string
measured at the 12th fret.

The guitar is delivered including the original Martin case and all hangtags.
