Listed here is a Hiroshi Suda, early 1930's construction, D-18. This guitar was built as apart of an identical batch of two the other currently owned by flat picking guitarist Kenny Smith. Both guitars were featured at the 2018 IBMA. Hand built by Hiroshi in Osaka Japan with an incredible adherence to golden era CF Martins down to the cloth side strips! Serial number 93086. Very clear tone with impressively loud projection. Deserving of the "Banjo Killer" accolade! Selling do to being a little too guitar rich and cash poor... Tale as old as time... A great opportunity to get a truly authentic Martin build at an affordable price! Comes in original deluxe Hiscox hardshell case. Please message me with any questions.
