Martin D-18 GE Guitar
With appointments from Martin’s Golden Era (1930-1940), the D-18 GE features genuine mahogany construction and is our most popular model in the series.
Imperial Guitar says:
We have been a Martin dealer forever and the D-18 GEs were clearly a cut above the Standard D-18s of its day, in tonal depth and complexity.This is an absolute beauty, plays smoothly and sounds great!
Original hard-shell case included.

If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
