Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 1975 Martin D-18 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar finished in Natural. This is a classic mid-’70s D-18 with plenty of vintage character and a history that has been well documented. It has received a professional refinish, a replacement pickguard, and a non-original end pin, along with a handful of professionally repaired cracks.
This example rates 8/10 – Good and shows the honest wear you’d expect from a nearly 50-year-old Martin. There are typical scratches and cosmetic marks throughout, along with a handful of crack repairs. The pickguard has been replaced, and the guitar has a professional refinish. Despite the history and cosmetic wear, this D-18 remains a great vintage Martin with plenty of character.
The guitar is Non-Original in several areas and includes its Original Martin Hardshell Case (OHSC). The end pin is non-original, and the pickguard has been replaced. A cool vintage D-18 for someone looking for an older Martin with plenty of history and personality.
