Martin Acoustic Guitars - 1939 D-18

MPN: 1939 D-18

This vintage 1939 Martin D-18 is an early '39, in Very Good condition and has the wide neck and bridge pin spacing. Though this guitar has a few issues that effect the value, it is about as nice of a prewar as they come when considering sound and playability. The top has four or five shrinkage cracks that were repaired many years ago. They do not move and are not that apparent. The finish is original and has the wear and checking you would expect to see in a 70 year old guitar that has been played, but not abused. The tuners are also original and in excellent working order. The playability is extraordinary, in part due to the high quality refret on a full thickness fretboard. This guitar is a joy to play and has been played by many of my professional player friends. This guitar is often picked out as a favorite from guitars that are at least twice the price. Serial# 72029. Includes non-original hard case. $19,500
