Martin / 1980 D-18
The aged wood has a fullness and depth that is not found in the current D-18, and the light and tight response that is characteristic of mahogany.
This 1980 D-18 is a guitar that combines these two elements in an exquisite balance.
The wood has naturally aged over a period of more than 40 years, and the blend of overtones is as natural as that of a vintage microphone, and is felt the moment you touch it.The light, dry sound produces a solid midrange and gentle tone that only mahogany can produce.
While D-18s from before the 1970s continue to rise in price, the 1980s era is still just about within the realm of affordable vintage.
If you're looking for a balance of sound, quality, and price, now is the best time to make your choice.
"I want a depth that modern sounds don't have."
"I want to expand my expressive potential as a player with this vintage mahogany guitar."
If that sounds like you, then this 1980 D-18 is the instrument that will take you "beyond that."
