Mahogany Roaring] 1960 D-18

Martin / 1960 D-18

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 is well-documented, and this one has a superb mahogany sound that matches its well-played appearance.

I was surprised at the mellowness and color of the sound after playing 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 inspires the player with stroke after stroke.
