 Martin Vintage Acoustic D-18 Guitar,  1971  SN# 303044

Throughout
acoustic guitar history and development, few instruments have commanded
the respect and loyalty of owners and players as much as the Martin
D-18 & D-28 series.  "The Hammer & The Nail" of acoustic
guitars. The primary difference between the two is the D-18 uses
Mahoghany as it's main body wood, the D-28 uses Rosewood. Both guitar's
use solid Sitka Spruce tops. Those who have played both styles
know Mahoghany has a more vibrant, brighter tone, whereas Rosewood is
more mid toned and mellow.  This particular D-18 has an
extremely full, rich tone with very accurate intonation up and down the
neck.  Nice guitar for pick or fingers, for soft complex music, foot
stomping Blue Grass or anything in between.  Great guitar for beginners,
those who are still learning [that is mostly everyone!] or expert
players, set up action is easy to play.  Nice hard shell case included.

Appearance & overall condition details:

Solid bookmatched
Mahoghany back and sides, solid Sitka Spruce top.  All seams and joints
are tight and sure, interior construction is sound. No alterations, no
electronic pick ups etc., 100% natural. Typical character dings
and use marks for a 38 year old well cared for guitar, nothing unusual
or objectional.  Guitar has been stored in a climate controlled smoke
free environment. All older Martin dreadnoughts will have a small
hairline surface line at top of pick guard [properly cleated inside]
and directly under the "B" string to the bridge edge.  A Martin
trademark!  Neck is straight and true, frets in good condition. No repair attention needed to begin enjoying this jewel, ready to go!  New strings put on as well and comes with aftermarket case!

In 2005 I had it tuned up and had the following $500 worth of work done:

-New Pick Guard
-Hump at neck/body joint repaired
-Fret dressing
-Medium action adjustment
-Saddle and shave bridge
