Description

A 1937 Martin D-18 in Natural finish.

This pre-war D-18 is in very good vintage condition with a number of repairs and modifications recently performed by Portland Fretworks, who have repaired and restored countless vintage Martins. They're one of the finest lutheries in the Northwest and are an authorized Martin warranty repair center.

Here's a summary of the work they performed in November, 2022: Reset Neck; Installed New Bridge, Saddle, and Nut; Refretted; Repaired Pickguard Crack; Removed and Reglued the Pickguard; Added New Bridge Pins; Sanded Orange Peel Finish on Body and Neck; Retinted Mahogany; and Touched Up Finish at Bridge.

The guitar was also refinished and the headstock repaired sometime in the past. At this point, the guitar is in excellent structural and playing condition, so there's really nothing left to do but play and enjoy this marvelous vintage Martin. The guitar is priced with the repairs in mind and is a great value. If you're interested in purchasing this guitar, please call us and we'll be happy to provide an in-hand description and answer any questions you may have.
