The Martin D-18GE Golden Era Ambertone 1933 Custom is an exceptional dreadnought inspired by Martin's legendary pre-war guitars of the 1930s. This special Custom Edition was built exclusively for the American dealer My Favorite Guitars and combines traditional Golden Era construction with premium tonewoods and a stunning vintage appearance.

Featuring a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this guitar delivers an incredibly powerful, open and responsive tone. Deep, dry bass, warm and woody mids and brilliant, well-defined trebles combine with outstanding dynamics and impressive projection.

The traditional Golden Era Forward Shifted Scalloped X-Bracing, crafted from Adirondack spruce, allows the top to resonate freely and provides exceptional volume and responsiveness. Whether used for powerful Bluegrass flatpicking, fingerstyle or strumming, this Martin offers remarkable clarity and excellent string separation.

Special features include a traditional Modified V neck, fossilized mammoth ivory nut and long saddle, beautiful ebony appointments and Waverly tuners with Butterbean buttons. The stunning Ambertone 1933 finish gives this Custom Edition its unmistakable pre-war appearance.

Condition:
Very good, well-maintained condition with normal signs of play and use. There are typical strumming marks on the pickguard and a few minor cosmetic imperfections.

The frets are in near mint condition with virtually no wear. Technically, the guitar is in excellent condition and offers outstanding sound and playability. It has been carefully checked and professionally set up by us.

Low E: 2.5 mm at the 12th fret
