For Sale Or Trade: Martin 1939 Authentic D18

[kpmetz]

For sale is my 2013 Martin 1939 D-18 Authentic. This is a stunning example of a recreation of a classic vintage dread. Here's how Martin describes this guitar:

"Here to remind you why you fell in love with us in the first place, the new Authentics are constructed the old way - with hide glue, throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on a 1939 D-18 in our museum, this guitar features genuine mahogany back and sides, an Adirondack spruce top, using an authentic circa 1939 bracing pattern. Period-correct "18" Authentic-style appointments, with an Authentic neck barrel and heel, complete this piece."


This one is totally clean, and plays like the absolute powerhouse you'd of course expect from such a top notch Martin dread. Scale length of 25.4", 1 11/16" nut width.

Please let me know if you have any questions; I am preferring a sale at this time but may be open to the right trade/partial trade.

Price is SALE PENDING paypal F/F shipped.

I’ve emailed the OP a few times and he sounds like a great guy to work with. Very accommodating. And this looks to be a wonderful instrument. I’m interested, but unfortunately haven’t pulled the trigger yet because I live too far away to have the opportunity to try out the guitar first.

Thanks for the kind words, Don. This guitar will indeed make someone REALLY happy
