All of the best features of the new D18, with a 1-11/16 nut width and mod-V neck.
I bought a 2005 D-18V for myself and I love it to pieces. Great sound and a better feeling neck than a new 18.
I'm tempted to say that a D-18V will often sound even better than a post-2012 D18. I realize that doesn't make sense and there's no reason why they should. The characteristics important to sound are essentially the same in both models. Still, I'm tempted to say the D-18V often sounds even better than the post-12 D-18.
I won't insist on it though.
Of course YMMV but I'd try a D-18V before ordering a custom.
