For Sale:
Martin D-18 1939 Authentic 2019
Excellent condition: Kept in my humidity controlled music room
$4,950 plus shipping or I’m willing meet up to 100 miles from Richmond, Va.

This is a wonderful example of everything Martin. I picked it up myself at the factory in Nazareth. I’ve had it 4 years, and I’m the original owner. I had the saddle lowered, just a tad, by an authorized luthier, for ease of play.

Nice guitars. Not the aged, yes?
