Martin D-18GE in Sunburst

Vintage Martins, (a lot of them anyway) sound great… So Martin builds the Golden Era line like they used too, sparing no expense. This Martin is a true Tone Monster! We have had several of them pass through lately and they have yet to remotely disappoint anybody who has so much as strummed a G® chord on it. Unbelievably loud and rich tone can be attributed to the Solid Adirondack top and Solid Mahogany back and sides. Classic Martin looks combined with one helluva playable guitar. A great guitar for the strummer who needs a wall of tone. Comes with original 545 Geib case and set up to your specs. Don't forget to ask about our Plek Machine. Questions?
