A new guitar that looks and sounds like it’s been played for 80 years, the Aged version of the acclaimed D-18 Authentic 1939 includes all of the goodness that comes with Martin’s Authentic Series instruments, like hide glue construction and hand-scalloped X-bracing—plus the Vintage Tone System (VTS) that ages the wood to replicate the sound of a vintage Martin.
But we didn’t stop there. We’ve now taken this amazing model and methodically, painstakingly distressed it, inside and out, in all the right places.
The result is a tactile, visual, and auditory experience that will transport you all the way back to the 1930s. And we know you’re going to like it there. Stock is limited.
The instrument is in very good condition. It has a few tiny dings/scratches and there are a few marks on either side of the headstock from a string winder (see two photos of headstock sides), but nothing that affects playability. The instrument was aged at the factory, so there are intentional cracks in the finish, some intentional scratching by the soundhole and on the pickguard, and intentional dings here and there to make it look worn. Comes with the original hardshell case from Martin & Co., which has a few scuffs and scratches as pictured in the photos.
