The Story

D-18 Authentic 1939 Aged Vintage Gloss Dreadnought Used

This is a lightly used and in overall excellent condition Martin D-18 Authentic 1939. The D-18 Authentic 1939 Aged not only features the VTS wood-aging system, hand shaped braces, and all hide glue construction, but it's been carefully aged inside and out for an appearance that matches it's tone. A perfect replacement for that out-of-reach pre-war dreadnought!

Includes: Hardshell Case
