Hi All,
Here's a stunning 2012 Martin "CS-D18-12" Slope-shoulder, 12-fret, slot-head dreadnought. These were a custom shop run in 2012 that were limited to 75 made. Sound is deep, crystal-clear, great separation and "woodiness". It is also incredibly powerful. A tremendous slope shoulder, 12 fret.
Summary: Hide glue construction throughout; standard 12-fret dreadnought size; old growth sinker mahogany back and sides; Adirondack spruce top; ebony fingerboard and 1920s straight bridge; one-piece mahogany neck with slotted headstock and T-bar truss rod; 1-3/4″ neck with low CS profile neck and 2-5/16″ string spacing; fossilized ivory nut, saddle and pins; 1929 Ditson 111 appointments; extra-thin finish; Waverly tuning machines with ivoroid butter bean buttons

This guitar is in "used but not abused" condition. It has no pick-guard, it has a few pick scratches and some finger-nail marks in that area. Has a couple small (<1/8") soft intents on the top and couple on the back, as well as a couple of light scratches here and there. All are normal play wear type of things. Minimal fret wear. NO buckle rash, key worming, cracks, repairs or anything like that!! I just want to highlight that it is not a mint collector piece but still very nice.
Only other thing to mention is that the original case was pilfered by a previous owner. They originally came with a Martin Custom Shop case with satin shroud. Because of this, I bought an Ameritage Gold Series case (previously used for a Carmel brand custom guitar) , which is exceptional in every way, and retails for around $350.
