This 1942 D-18 exudes bluegrass battle scars, with decades of wear evident throughout - miles that have resulted in rich, unstoppable tone. The top is very thin at this point, with light bracing, contributing to its excellent tone. It's undergone a neck reset, yielding excellent playability with plenty of saddle, and its perfectly carved "V" neck is a perfect palm pairing. Repair-wise it has substantial finish wear throughout with spots of touch up, several repaired cracks, a replaced fingerboard and a repaired headstock.
