1975 Martin D-18L factory left-handed acoustic guitar with original hard shell case and original Martin paperwork including warranty registration letter referencing serial number 355448.

This guitar is in very good vintage condition for its age and presents beautifully with strong color and grain throughout the top, back, and sides. The mahogany back and sides have aged nicely and the guitar has the classic warm, woody Martin tone these vintage D-18s are known for.


Cosmetic wear is consistent with a nearly 50-year-old instrument and includes light scratches, finish wear, a small ding on the back nothing major just the finish on the edge, and I was informed that the 12fret and up seems to be slightly out of tune which could mean it needs a bridge adjustment, but it looks fantastic and still plays great. Guitar center offered me $1,000 on the spot.


The guitar appears structurally solid with no obvious major cracks or headstock repairs visible. Includes original blue-lined hard shell case and original Martin documentation.

Factory left-handed vintage Martins are relatively uncommon and increasingly difficult to find, especially with original paperwork.


Thanks for looking
