The Story

This is a very lightly used 2022 Martin D-18 Authentic 1939 Aged is an even further elevated Authentic model with an aged finish. This guitar was sold at The Music Zoo originally and back to find a new home, still in excellent shape. 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: Original Hardshell Case
