The 1970s period for Martin is well documented for being at the lower end of the company's quality control standards. The intonation on early 70s Martins, especially dreadnaughts, is almost always off because the bridge is about 1/8th of an inch out of proper position. I had Bryan Kimsey do soome work on my 1970 D-28 and it sounds and plays like a different (as in, better) guitar. Please email or PM the asking price on this D-18. I'm curious.
