1948 Martin D-18

[1948 Martin D-18]

This is a player grade 1948 D-18. A number of the repairs were done in our shop 8 or 9 years ago, but some was done before that. It is a great sounding old D-18 that has had a recent neck reset and plays great.

Something knocked a hole in the corner at the top, and that hole was repaired here. The bridge and fingerboard are both replacements. The tuners are modern Waverlys that replaced probably Grovers at some point. The headstock has dark overspray that appears to conceal a crack repair, but it's difficult to assess the extent.

All repairs are quite stable, and the guitar stays in tune quite well.

Modern hard case included.
