Along with the D-28, the "D-18" continues to be loved by people. Since its introduction in 1931, this model has been loved by legends such as Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, and Eric Clapton. The Gibson J-45, which has the same mahogany body, has a completely different character from the Gibson J-18.
The one introduced here is a D-18 made in 1960, which has a tremendous dignity in appearance.
The popularity of Martin guitars from the 1960s goes without saying, but this one has an exquisite mahogany sound that matches the expected appearance of a guitar that has been played to the fullest.
I was surprised at the mellowness and colorfulness of the sound when I played a single chord.
At the moment of attack, I heard a "bang" and a "pop"! The whole body shakes, not just the strings, as if the strings are popping. You can tell that the body continues to tremble until the reverberation disappears. The core of the sound is also solid, with a massive bass sound and power that does not lose to strong picking. This is one that will inspire players with stroke after stroke.
