D-18 Ambertone Martin, which has been established since 1833 and has led the acoustic guitar world to the present day through various technological developments. Among the many Martin guitar lineups, the D-18 is one of the representative models. Since its birth in 1934, it has been loved by artists around the world along with the D-28, which was born at the same time. The "Dreadnought," which indicates the size, is said to be derived from the name of a battleship that was active at that time, and its deep bass and powerful sound from its large body, which lives up to its name, had a great influence on many guitar brands that appeared later. The difference from the similar model D-28 lies in the wood used. The body top uses spruce, but the sides & back use mahogany. Compared to the rosewood used in the D-28, it has a bright, sparkling, and gentle sound that is attractive. As it is a relatively soft wood, it is easy to resonate even with a light touch, and it fully demonstrates the Martin sound in both chord strumming and fingerpicking. 【Condition】 The neck is generally straight. The string height at the 12th fret is approximately 2.5mm for the 6th string and approximately 2mm for the 1st string. There is not much feeling of use, and it is in a beautiful condition with few large scratches or dents. The sound is a good balance of the bright sound of mahogany and the deep bass of the dreadnought, and it has a sound that feels gentle yet has a solid presence and dignity. ★Since this is a used item, there may be parts that cannot be fully explained and differences in how people feel about it, so please purchase only if you understand used items.
