Details “A legendary instrument that complements your singing-a 2007 D-18 has arrived in our used inventory!” The Martin “D-18” is a true classic. Unlike the deep, rich bass of rosewood-based models like the D-28, this guitar features the clear projection and soft harmonics characteristic of mahogany, making it the perfect choice for singer-songwriters, as it naturally complements the vocals. Its sound character truly “accompanies the song”-light and lively when strummed, yet warm and inviting when fingerpicked-making it a truly captivating instrument. This model features a solid spruce top, solid mahogany sides and back, a select hardwood neck, and rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge, allowing you to enjoy the rich tone and stable playability characteristic of Martin.Additionally, with a 645.2mm scale length, non-scalloped bracing, and a low-profile neck with a nut width of approximately 42.9mm, it is a highly practical instrument well-suited for singer-songwriter performances and recording. As for its condition, there are dents, scratches, and some tarnish and rust on the metal parts. While it shows signs of aging and wear commensurate with its age, this instrument possesses a unique character and a well-seasoned tone that can only be found in a guitar that has been played extensively over the years. There is a slight bulge visible beneath the bridge on the top. Additionally, the neck shows forward bow and twist, with string action at the 12th fret measuring approximately 3.0 mm on the 6th string side and 2.1 mm on the 1st string side. There is slight peeling at the lower left corner of the bridge. The truss rod has been tested and moves approximately 60 degrees in both directions, but there is little adjustment range remaining. The frets have been leveled and show no significant unevenness; approximately 70% of the original material remains. This is a great choice for those who want to enjoy a “mature mahogany sound.” It comes with the original hard case. Please consider this opportunity.
