The Story

Used 1948 D-18 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Natural

This 1948 D-18 is a classic variation of this classic design. Featuring a Sitka Spruce top, this D-18 features Mahogany back and sides, giving the guitars a warm, focused tone. The combination of the Mahogany back with the large body makes this guitar perfect for players looking to combine both strumming and flat-picking sounds in one guitar. The Mahogany neck is topped with a 20 fret Rosewood fingerboard that's inlaid with understated Pearl dots.

Includes: Hardshell Case
