For Sale Or Trade: New Martin D18 Modern Deluxe

[Esq.]

PRICE DROP TO $2,350 plus shipping/fees and opening this up to partial trades for a sub-$1500 guitars.

This is literally a new Martin D18 Modern Deluxe. It was delivered last week, and I have only pulled it out of its case to inspect it and play it for a few minutes.

I ordered this model in November, but the first one arrived with slight damage. By the time this replacement got here, I had decided I’d rather use the guitar fund on a another one of my hobbies.

If you’re not familiar with the Modern Deluxe, it’s Martin’s fantastic new spin on the tried and true D18.

Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction. 1-3/4” nut. East Indian rosewood binding, gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a unique 1930s style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock.

Some ultra-modern features include a titanium truss rod, Liquidmetal[emoji768] bridge pins with red dots, and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume without adding weight. New neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard.

New hardshell case included.

This is a really wonderful sounding Martin dread and is easy to play straight out the case. Extremely light and feels much smaller in the lap than any other full-size Martin dread I’ve ever played.

I first learned about the D18 Modern Deluxe at a local Martin event, and was amazed at the tone when played back to back with the Standard series D18 and D28.

I’m happy to send any pics or info you might want.

It's hiding in the pictures. $2,500 plus shipping.

The OP should get it up in the text body.

Are those camera/light reflections on the lower bought of the top...or is that a wild bunch of bear claw?
