vintage 1970 Martin D-18 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar with original case. Cleaned and Setup for optimal playability with Daddario EJ16 12-53 (10/30/25). The case is functional but see pictures of hinges - may soon need to be replaced. There is a decal on the back of the headstock.

s/n 267593

- Overall, really nice shape for this vintage

- Action is 6.5/64"-5/64". Excellent for this guitar, this era

- Braces are solid

- Several scuffs or scrapes on the back, possibly from strap damage inside case

- Bridge replaced or reglued. There is a small sanding defect on the bass side of the bridge away from the neck, on the bottom. This leaves an impression that the bridge is lifting. It is not.

- Vintage appropriate Grover "Milk Bottle" tuners

- Some bridge plate damage from string rings

- Minor glue droppings on the inside back, probably from the bridge repair

- Oversize (rosewood?) bridge plate, appears in good shape, and is period correct

- No adjustable truss rod - relief is slightly high, but ok
