Then there's one of Martin's less attractive guitars (looks like it was slapped together), the D-18e.


Tracy Chapman played one of these at the beginning of her career.


For some strange reason, Kurt Cobain used a D-18e, but did not like the sound of the Martin supplied (DeArmond?) pickups, so he used an additional soundhole pickup to play on the inappropriately named MTV Unplugged TV show. I never did see a performer on that show who was not "plugged".
