2009 Martin D Mahogany 09 - Rare discontinued model and one of Martin's hidden gems. Very similar to a D18 Golden Era but with FSC woods. It has the same GE bracing, but with an Alpine spruce top rather than Adirondack. IMO, this gives a bit more shimmer and sweetness compared to GE. This really is a D18 on steroids ! I purchase NOS bout two years ago. Guitar is in excellent shape with minimal wear. I installed an LR Baggs lyric pickup (internal mic) that gives a very natural sound plugged in. Setup great with no issues. I am only selling because shoulder problems have forced me to smaller body styles such as 000/OM. Will be looking for a rosewood OM/000 soon.
