Martin Custom Shop D-18
Howdy all,
Putting this beauty up for grabs tonight. One of my favorite instruments - this custom shop is very warm, woody, responsive and loud. I have played it next to several authentic series 18s and it will keep up in every department! I am the second owner - has had a neck reset done by Stringed Instrument Division in Missoula Montana. He did a very clean job - you can hardly tell it had one done! I replaced the tuners with Waverlys and the bridge was slotted. There is a very small nick in the bridge by a couple of the pin holes. Overall shape is great - a little pic swirling in the finish, but no cracks or chips. Specs: Custom Shop 18-style VTS Sitka top Gorgeous Quilted Mahogany body and sides Forward shifted scalloped x brace Maple binding Matching Mahogany Faceplate on the headstock Ebony fretboard ebony bridge K&K Mini installed 1 3/4" nut 2 5/32" string spacing Mod low oval/PA neck I have the spec sheet if you want to see everything :-) Please let me know if you have any questions - not looking for any trades unless you have a J-45 vintage. $2900 shipped. Thanks! Last edited by Dean Riley; 09-19-2022 at 12:39 PM. |

For me, the neck profile and nut width are key specs. Beautiful guitar, for sure.
Thanks.

To the top on this beautiful fall morning :-)
Couple trade offers but not really anything I'm looking for at the moment. |
