For sale, a well worn "player's grade Martin D-18 from 1960 with tremendous sound. John Arnold, the well known luthier and Martin repairman, repaired several cracks to the top and back (treble side) and plugged a hole for the pickup jack. He re-glued the pick guard, installed new frets and a new set of Kluson tuners. (Bridge pins are Antique Acoustics).
This is certainly not a collector's piece, but it is an incredible sounding vintage Martin with tons of mojo. The guitar is 100% stable, the action is low and smooth, intonation spot-on, and generally a perfect bluegrass cannon. I wish I could keep it, but I'm thinning out my collection. Comes with a recent Martin thermoplastic HSC.
Will ship anywhere in the U.S., and I will only charge what the actual shipping and insurance costs (regardless of what the calculator says below). Bid in confidence--I've sold lots of great guitars, but this is easily the best sounding one of all.
