For your consideration is a great 1963 Martin D-18 with the hard work already done. It’s open, responsive, and exactly what you want from a played-in early ’60s mahogany dread.

This guitar was recently professionally serviced by Holger Noltzel, including a neck reset and refret, along with a new hand made bone saddle. It‘s set up with low action, plays effortlessly and sounds wide open.

Condition:

Very good. Honest play wear consistent with age.

• A couple of side cracks on the lower waist, professionally sealed and stable
• Structurally solid and ready to go
• No other major issues

At some point, someone added a “C.F. Martin IV” signature inside the soundhole. Cosmetic only, no impact on tone or structure.
