1974 CF Martin D-18 Acoustic Guitar (Grover Tuners, Hardshell Case) ~Video~

Description: *Item Summary* Today we have a Vintage 1974 Martin D18 acoustic guitar in very good condition This six stringer has a very distinct resonance and twang that can lend itself well to a variety of musical genres. Fresh pro setup by Dave Fecca Guitar Repair, and axe comes with a clean, sturdy, protective hard shell case (non-original). ~See Video~ https://youtu.be/KkdwpZbDH6k?si=9zAm6EPTOWGci-oe S.N.# 351259 *Condition* Play wise, this guitar is very nice to handle. Recently adjusted, clean standard action & intonation, bright resonance. Cosmetically, it is far from flawless. You’ll notice that there exists some beautiful weather checking that’s apparent on the spruce top. Most notably, the top right, and a little on the top left. Some scratching around the bottom front edge. A bit more noticeable wear on the fretboard around the 2nd fret that doesn’t affect playability. Rear of the guitar has various minor scratches. Small chip on the back of the neck a few inches from the headstock, and some light scratching. Our luthier installed a Bridge Doctor to remedy a very slight concave sag in the soundboard. That is the reason for the MOP inlay dead center of the belly bridge. Top is now corrected, she lays flat. Previous owner replaced all of the original Grover tuning machines with exactly the same Grover tuners (why,we will never know). This is a single owner, 50 year young instrument, we are the 2nd caretakers. *Additional Specs* -Body Size: D-14 Fret Serial # 351259 -Top Material: SolId Sitka Spruce -Rosette: 18 Multi-Stripe -Brace Material: Sitka Spruce -Brace Size: 5/16″ -Back Material: Honduran Mahogany -Back Purfling/Strip: Style 18 -Side Material: Honduran Mahogany -Binding: Black -Top Inlay Material: 18 Style Multi-Stripe -Neck Material: Mahogany -Nut Material: Bone -Headplate Material: Rosewood -Fingerboard Material: Rosewood -Scale Length: 25.4″ -Neck Joins Body At: 14th Fret -Number of Frets Total: 20 -Fingerboard Inlay Style: Dots -Side Dots: White -Bridge Material: Rosewood -Bridge Style: Belly – Drop in Saddle -Saddle Radius: 16″ -Tuning Machines: Grover -Bridge Pin Material: Black Plastic -Pickguard: Black -Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1.6875” Shipping insurance is included.
