2023 Martin

D-18 Aged Authentic 1937

$5,900

​​

​

This 2023 Martin D-18 Aged Authentic 1937 is in like new condition.  The simulated aging and play wear are straight from the factory.

​

REPAIR NOTE (7/31/26):  this one has a minor heel separation due to glue failure; if it isn't sold soon, it is headed into the shop.  I will discount appropriately if you want to buy as-is. 

This guitar has not been set up, so you can adjust the action to your liking.   

​​

VTS Adirondack top with beautiful amber color and checking.  The simulated wear on this guitar is among the most realistic I have seen in the Aged Authentics.

1937 D-18 Authentic neck profile, which is fuller in the left hand than the D-28 Authentics (in my experience / opinion). 

 

Hand-scalloped, forward shifted X braces made of Adirondack and tucked under the bridge plate.  

​

This dreadnought will NOT disappoint.  No scratches, dents, dings or other damage.  

  

No electronics.  End pin has not even been installed yet.

​

Comes in the original Martin Authentic series factory case.  (photos of actual case are available if requested)

​​​

Smoke free, pet free, humidity controlled home.  Always stored in the case. 

 

Guitar still smells brand new.
