Product information

Just in on trade: a Martin Custom Shop style-18 dreadnought, upgraded with a European Spruce top! To our ears, this is a D-18, only better. The European Spruce top brings more stiffness to the table, imparting color of tone, clarity, snap, and a significantly more focused & clear low end. This Custom Shop take on the classic D-18 offers depth of tone that will rival a boutique guitar ~ with the modern neck profile favored by many contemporary players.

This instrument is in very good pre-owned condition, exhibiting only the slightest signs of previous handling. A strap button has been added to the neck heel; and the original bridge pins have been replaced. Our shop has thoroughly inspected the entire instrument and given it a new setup. Priced with its original hard case.
