For Sale: 2017 Martin D-18 SOLD

Shades of Blue · #1 04-23-2018, 09:29 AM

In this crazy journey as a guitar player, we do some crazy and stupid things. One of which, I will probably regret, but I'm selling my D-18. I bought this from Ted and LA Guitars last August. It's a really great specimen and sounds amazing. I'll try to get more pics, but this is actually all I have...probably because I was sure I'd keep this one

Only upgrade is Martin Ebony pins with abalone dot inlay. Original plastic included. PRICE LOWERED: $1599 + Shipping...as close to new condition as you'll find.

PICTURES ADDED: A lot of people are asking about action and setup. I had this set up locally at a Martin Dealer and the action at the 12th fret is just under .100" (a little over 3/32). Saddle has been taken down and the guitar plays and sounds wonderful.

Probably not haha, but it is to free up some funds in my search for a good rosewood Martin.

PS: I would trade for a 2018 HD28!

I probably would have... I’ve traded the HD-28 for a Huss and Dalton TD-M Custom. I think the guy is crazy, but I’m happy with it! 🤪

How is the action at 12th fret? Much room left on the saddle?

Can you post a pic again?

Is this the redesigned version with the wider nut and forward shifted bracing?

I've posted a sound clip below. Lots of low end, very organic and woody sounding. Sounds amazing. I just would like to get a rosewood Martin since I just bought a J-45.
