Description
Built to honor the legacy of Martin’s pre-war craftsmanship, this D-18 Golden Era 1934 offers vintage tone and feel with modern precision. Featuring an Adirondack spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and forward-shifted scalloped bracing, this model delivers that unmistakable dry, powerful, and articulate tone that defined the golden age of acoustic guitars. The modified V neck and ebony fingerboard provide a classic feel and smooth playability that appeals to traditionalists and players alike.
This example is all original except for a professionally installed K&K Mini pickup, offering a natural amplified tone perfect for live use. It comes with its original hardshell case and is in excellent 9/10 condition, showing only a few micro dents on the top, a scuff on the bottom side, and a handful of small impressions on the neck and headstock.
