USED C.F. Martin / D-18V, 2003, Natural [12]

A 2003 Martin D-18V has arrived in stock.
This model revives the specifications of the golden age of the 1930s for the modern era and is an extremely popular discontinued model that served as the basis for the current Standard D-18.

This particular instrument combines the “crisp, dry, and bright projection” characteristic of mahogany with the depth gained through aging, delivering overwhelming responsiveness and intense body resonance.
Regarding its condition, there are overall signs of wear, including scratches, dents, discoloration on the finish, and tarnish or rust on the metal parts. Additionally, the neck has some twist (positive bow on the 6th string side and negative bow on the 1st string side), but this does not currently interfere with playability. Furthermore, there is a slight misalignment in the binding near the endpin, but this does not pose any issues for use. Overall, the guitar shows signs of use.
