Be quick - once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Extremely rare Martin 1959 D-18 E vintage guitar.
These guitars are very rare as Martin only made around 300 and only for one year in 1959 and apparently only about 25 original guitars exist today.
Many of them were retoped back in the day so to find one in stock original condition is becoming almost impossible to find.
Only 3 have become available for sale in the last 10 years showing just how scarce they are now.
The guitar comes with its original hard case, which is in fantastic condition also a very rare original martin catalog from 1959 showing the D-18E model inside.
Also an original pack of full Martin strings from the late1950s.
On top of that it has an original Bartonlini pick up installed exactly like Kurt Cobain’s which just sold for over $6,000,000.
Even comes with an early 90s poison idea poster on the case just like kurts.
Being the most expensive guitar ever sold In history which in turn will make the last few original ones more desirable and sort after.
The guitar will also come with 2 auction books from the Kurt Cobain auction detailing his 1959 D18E in great detail.
The guitar plays beautifully and sounds amazing.
Last picture is an email from Martin confirming this was the 110th Martin D18E to be made of the short production run in 1959.
Plugged in takes a whole new life! Listen to the below you tube demonstration of a 1959 D18E they sound insane and unlike anything else.
