A 1979 Martin D-18 in good playing condition, supplied with its original Martin hard case. The guitar has clearly seen some use over the years, with a couple of alterations along the way, but remains a very nice example of this classic Martin dreadnought.
The neck appears to have been reset at some point, and the guitar plays very well. The back of the neck has also possibly been refinished, while the original tuners have been replaced. The pickguard shows the typical shrinkage associated with older Martin guards and is lifting in places.
A genuine vintage Martin D-18 with a good playing feel and plenty of character.
