FS: Martin D-18
I'm selling my Martin D18. This is the newish redesign with open Back tuners, tortoise pickguard and binding. $1600 shipped and insured to the continental US only.
I've owned many guitars in the past but I've always been a one guitar at a time kind of guy. Santa Cruz, Huss and dalton, lowden, paragon, a few martins, Breedlove, larrivee, more than a few taylors, and a couple of custom builds have all come and gone. Ive held on to this D18 longer than any of the others. The amount of tone you get for the price is just fantastic. The specs are standard: Sitka, hog, 1 3/4" nut, etc. The reason for selling? I've decided to free up some cash to buy a watch and make due with a lesser guitar for now. I've got a hands on toddler as well so the D18 has been getting a lot of case time lately. It just makes sense to get a guitar that I won't worry over so much. Playability is great. Action is smooth and low but not so much as to sap the tone and buzz all over the place. Frets are in nice condition. Ive used medium, light, and light hd elixirs and the sound is great in standard, dropped a half step, amazing in dadgad! Overall condition: Normal small little dents. There some swirl marks on the headstock around the tuning pins. Unfortunately there is some glueing issues with the binding. I've tried to capture this as clearly as I could with my iPhone. There is a small section of the back binding, where the guitar would rest on (correction: your chest under your arm) that has come unglued somewhat and sticks out a little from the side of the guitar. As a result some of the tortoise veneer has chipped off. Luckily, this is just a minor cosmetic issue and a good luthier should be able to replace the binding if so desired. No cracks or finish checking. I have shipped many many guitars and have never had an issue. I will pack safely and securely. I am having issues uploading pics from my phone, please message or email me. I'll be happy to email or text you the pics. I've got plenty. [email protected]

Price drop, $1600 shipped... I'd much rather sell here than ebay. Rest assured this d18 sounds amazing and is worth every penny they go for new. Getting it used is even better.

Joe, about the loose binding- is the binding itself chipped or has the finish chipped off of it? The pics make it appear like it's the latter, which would be a cheaper/easier fix than replacing binding. Also, is the unglueing progressing further around the body, or has it stabilized in the one location?

Still available, and I'm open to reasonable offers as well. I know tone is subjective but This is easily one of the top guitars I've owned in terms of sound quality and considering that most of the others cost significantly more really says something about the quality of this d18.
