Default First lesson with my D-18

My instructor was blown aware by the tonal separation, volume, and overall contrast with my Seagull. He also loved playing it. I now have a Seagull traveler

A Martin D18 is a real life keeper.

Though I have never owned one, based on playing a bunch of them, I recommend them all the time. A true classic.

What guitar does your instructor have? Make sure he’s not playing your D18 more than you are...![emoji38]

Had my D18 for a few months.
They really are great guitars.
Congratulations and enjoy it.

I haven't GASSED for anything else since I got my D-18 1 1/2 years ago. And I have played many different guitars since then. Just nothing grabs me like that D-18. It's a keeper.

I sold my D18 and bought a 000-18, which is wonderful and has nearly the volume of my D18. I switched for comfort.
