For sale is a beautiful 2019 Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe. This guitar is very light for its size, weighing just under 4 lb. It's got that great Martin tone you would expect from a D-18, with a hint of modern flair. It sports a sitka VTS top, with gorgeous wood binding.

The previous owner had a soundhole pickup installed that caused some wear on both sides of the soundhole. They also had the endpin drilled out for permanent installation of the soundhole pickup, along with adding an additional strap button to the end block. The additional strap button has been removed and filled and a NoJak endpin from StewMac is currently installed. To remove, unscrew the interior screw with a 4mm hex driver. The Modern Deluxe come with a satin finish on the neck, but this one is polished, presumably from the previous owner. Some of the internal braces have been re-glued, as they were separating from the top. All of this work was done at St Paul Guitar Repair, an authorized Martin Service Center.

Additional wear pictured: a light scratch on the top, above the bridge. A light dent on the upper bout, treble side. Light scratch on the back, bass side. Light dent on back. There are additional wear marks on the back, too difficult to capture in photos. All of the wear listed above needs to be held at the right angle to see, nothing glaringly obvious.
