LIKE NEW. 3 SMALL ALMOST INVISIBLE DINGSCAUSED BY ME DURING TACKING CARE. IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOW IN PICTURE.  FOR THIS I LOW THE PRICE AT COST. GREAT CHANCE. AMAZING SOUND. TERRIFIC MASTER GRADE OF ADIRONDACK SPRUCE TOP. 

SN: 1718347

WOW. To me Adirondack and Mahoghany is the perfect combination. For this beauty, newest, in totally Hide Glue Construction to feel, to hear, to play like the prewar Martin Guitars. Based on a 1939 D-18 in Martin's own museum, this guitar features mahogany back and sides, an Adirondack spruce top, using an authentic circa 1939 bracing pattern. The neck is the smallest of all authentics and very comfortable.

Period-correct "18" Authentic-style appointments, with an Authentic neck barrel and heel, complete this piece. Made exactly like the pre-war guitar, with solid Honduran Mahogany back and sides, solid Adirondack top, standard X-brace, Scalloped according to 1939 style, hide glue construction throughout, T-Bar neck reinforcement, ebony fingerboard with small abalone position dots, ebony bridge with Long fossil-ivory saddle, tortoise pickguard under the finish.
Other small but important details are the fossil ivory nut and saddle (either wallrus or Mammoth) ebony bridge pins, 1930's style Harptone hardshell case.
