The Martin D-18V offers a modern interpretation of one of the company's most respected dreadnought designs, pairing familiar pre-war inspired appointments with dependable late-20th-century construction. Its solid mahogany back and sides deliver a dry, woody response, while the spruce top provides plenty of headroom and clarity for flatpicking or fingerstyle work. The celluloid trim and vintage-style neck profile give the guitar a classic appearance without feeling overly ornate. By the mid-1980s, Martin was revisiting many of its historic designs, and models like the D-18V reflected a growing appreciation for the company's earlier instruments. It's a versatile dreadnought with the warm, balanced voice and understated character.This example has undergone a handful of repairs with a neck reset, refret, pickup installed, partial fret level, bridge reglue, strap button installed.

Includes OHSC.
