Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Pure, tried 'n' true reliability. This clean, 2014 D-18 is completely setup and ready to continue broadcasting its warm, woody, classic sound, all at an incredibly reasonable price of admission. Truly the kind of guitar that can most any player can enjoy and almost all flatpickers in particular are sure to fall in love with!
From Martin and Co.
Understated looks, timeless tone. The warm tone of mahogany and authentic Sitka spruce couple with resonant scalloped bracing under the hood for a sound that's honest, authoritative, and clear. Vintage details like open-geared tuners and classic 18-style appointments pair with a modern, low profile neck for an old-soul sound in a brand-new body.
