2006 Martin D-18GE
This example is in beautiful condition and shows very little playwear to the frets and finish. Apart from finish damage at the lower corner of the headstock caused by a guitar hanger that wasn’t safe for lacquer, the guitar looks nearly new. It was set up in our shop and plays well, with flatpicking action and medium strings. It’s a great sounding guitar with plenty of bass, power, fundamental presence, and a dry and forward midrange.
Adirondack red spruce top with forward-positioned scalloped X bracing, mahogany back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and vintage 1930’s appointments. Fossil ivory nut and saddle, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, Waverly tuning machines. 1-3/4” nut width, modified V neck carve, 2-5/16” string spread at the bridge.
With original hardshell case
