Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
A brand spanking "new" D-18! Punch, Power, Precision! All the things we love about these classic Martin designs, this D-18 shows off the best qualities of the spruce / mahogany combo!
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.
