Some would consider this to be the golden era of Martin guitars. This 1953 Martin D-18 exemplifies what everyone loves about a vintage Martin. This guitar sports the classic combination of mahogany back and sides and a spruce top and in arguably the most iconic Martin body shape: the dreadnaught. This iconic combination provides the rich depth this era of guitars is known for. The choice of many classic rock singers and songwriters, the tones out of this guitar perfectly compliment that of a lead singer of the time.

The condition of this guitar is well-loved, but don't let the exterior fool you, this guitar still has a lot to give. The genuine use this guitar has received over the years is a testament to its quality and playability. Many modern shops struggle to 'relic' their guitars to mimic what this guitar has genuinely achieved through its time being played. In other words; this one is the real deal. It can walk the walk and talk the talk with ease. Come see for yourself!
