Martin / D18 Mahogany Spruce / 1979 / Guitar For Sale

Few dreadnoughts are as beloved as the Martin D18, a multi-functional workhorse that chose function over style. Over the years, the specifications of this model have changed regularly, and this D18 from 1976 shows which specifications were characteristic of that period. The tortoise binding and pickguard have made way for black, the bracing is 'non-scalloped', and there is a large rosewood bridge plate under the hood. With the volume of the dreadnought body, it offers a beautifully balanced sound where not the low, but the clear high and the punchy mid play the leading role. This makes it sound particularly beautiful not only when strumming, but even with fingerstyle. This D18 from 1979 looks clean, but has of course collected playwear and weather checking in 47 years. The vintage charm of the guitar is certainly enhanced by this, and this also resonates in the beautifully matured sound of the instrument. The guitar has a great action due to a previously performed neck reset and refret, but the neck is not completely optimally aligned. However, the guitar is very playable, and is still an excellent weapon for the studio! The guitar comes with a TFOA passport in the original Martin hardshell case.

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.
