Martin / D18 / 1954 / Guitar

The D18 shows the almighty dreadnought in one of it's most coveted forms using mahogany for the back and sides and Sitka spruce for the top. This D18 is from 1954 so it features non scalloped bracing, tortoise binding and a rosewood fretboard. This is truly a quintessential vintage mahogany dreadnought that is hard to put down when you hear its fundamental and characteristic tone. Since 1954, this Martin has used it’s time to mature, age and develop in an impressive manner. The result is a great sounding guitar, very dry, direct and warm. What has made the sound so impressive has to do with, among other things, that it has already been played a lot; the playwear, scratches and dings are proof of this. But it is definitely in good condition. A small pickguard crack, a small crack on the side and one on the back of the body have been repaired. It also had a neck reset. Includes a hardshell case with TFOA passport.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
