This Used 2006 Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Natural is here on trade. The guitar is in very nice shape with nothing negative to mention regarding cosmetics. The neck is straight, the frets are still crowned, and the truss rod functions properly. Included with the guitar is the original hardshell case.
This Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 has a pickup with no onboard controls installed in it, so it is ready for any scenario you may find yourself in. The pickup was installed professionally and it functions perfectly.
This is a remarkable-sounding guitar! It has tonal qualities of Rosewood somehow, with a bigger bottom end, and a sweet, chimey top end! This guitar will record beautifully!
"1937 was an excellent year for guitars with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation, and materials. This Authentic Series replication of a 1937 D-18 stays true to the original with hide glue construction and historically accurate detailing. This guitar features genuine mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top, and it includes an Authentic circa 1937 bracing pattern. It includes period-correct "18" Authentic-style appointments and an Authentic neck barrel and heel, and new this year, a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin’s history. Martin’s craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments."
