For Sale: Martin D-18 Short Scale 2009 w/Waverly tuners + K&K Pickup SOLD

[Matts67]

For sale is a very rare 2009 Martin D-18 Short Scale. This is such an easy, and fun playing guitar, and they don't come around very often. It's in excellent overall condition with a few small blemishes - most notably, 2 small dings on the top, and some light scratching on the back which is only visible in certain lighting.

If you're looking for that classic Martin D-18 tone, but something easier on the hands, this is the guitar. It practically plays itself, but has tone for days. This one has been upgraded with aged Waverly tuners (original tuners are included) and has a K&K pickup installed. Action is right around 6/64" low E and 5/64" high E at the 12th fret, saddle is tall - neck angle is spot on.

"Some guitar models are naturals: so simple in concept, so
effortless in execution and so pleasing as instruments, it is
hard to believe they haven’t been around forever. Such is the
case with the new Martin D-18 SS Special Edition – the first
short scale 6-string Dreadnought Martin has ever offered. The
short 24.9” scale yields slightly lower string tension allowing
for easier fretting. The slightly shorter distance between frets
makes elongated chords and string-bends easier to play. With
the exception of the short scale, the Martin D-18 SS Special
Edition features the same traditional 14-fret specifications and
premium solid tonewoods as the Martin D-18V."
