Great sounding '81 D-18!

The D-18 is known for its sweet, clean mahogany sound and has been used by Doc Watson, Paul Simon, Bernie Redon, Takahiko Ishikawa, and many others. This particular guitar was made in 1981 with Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and square rod.
The overall paint film is cloudy and there are some weather checks. There are some dents and scratches, but the pickguard is original, and there are no cracks or Martin cracks. The bottom of the sides have some paint discoloration and darkening due to contact with the rubber of the guitar stand. The pegs have been replaced.
In the case of square rod Martin products, it is the condition of the neck that is of concern, but this unit is in proper condition. The current string height at the 12th fret is approximately 2.6mm on the 6th string side and 2.0mm on the 1st string side, which is perfect for playability. The saddle has been adjusted a little lower, but the bridge has not been shaved.
The frets have been replaced and there are no noticeable wear areas. There is more than 90% height remaining.
It plays well. The bridge plate is made of large rosewood, which gives the guitar a wild feel. Although it is in player's condition, you can enjoy the dry and clear sound of mahogany side and back if you play gently.

「良く鳴ります!81年製D-18!」

甘く抜けの良いマホガニー・サウンドが魅力のD-18。ドック・ワトソン、ポール・サイモン、バーニー・レドン、石川鷹彦らの使用で知られます。当個体はインディアン・ローズウッド指板&ブリッジ、スクエア・ロッドが採用された1981年製。
全体的に塗膜が曇っており、またウェザー・チェックが発生しております。打痕、引っ掻き傷が散見されますが、ピックガードはオリジナルで、めくれやマーティン・クラックの発生はございません。サイドのボトム部にギター・スタンドのゴムとの接触による塗膜の変質、黒ずみが発生しています。ペグが交換されています。
スクエア・ロッドのマーティン製品の場合、気になるのはネックのコンディションですが、当個体は適正です。現在の12フレットの弦高は、6弦側で約2.6mm、1弦側で約2.0mmで演奏性は申し分ございません。サドルは多少低く調整されておりますが、ブリッジが削られてているようなことはございません。
フレットは交換されており、目立つ摩耗箇所はございません。高さは9割以上残っています。
良く鳴ってくれます。ブリッジ・プレートに大型のローズウッドが採用されていた時期の製品だけあって、野太ささえ感じさせてくれます。プレイヤーズ・コンディションではございますが、優しく弾けばマホガニー・サイド&バックらしい乾いたクリアなサウンドが楽しめ、力強く弾けばドスを効かせることもできるダイナミック・レンジの広さを持つ一本です。
