Which Pre-Wars did you play, and do you mind explaining in more detail why you didn't think they were anything special? I have been considering ordering one, but your post gives me pause in case some of the reviews I am seeing about them are over-hyped.

Do you mind explaining a bit more on what you preferred about the tone of the D-18GE over the D-18 (Adirondack / Sinker Mahogany) Customs? What didn't you like about any of them? I had been considering a Sinker Mahogany Martin as well.
