Seller's description

If you fancy a D-18 that has some mojo to it, doesn't have an eye-watering price tag, and is low miles relative to its age, this one is a goodun. Tail end of the steel-reinforced neck era of production so a very light and resonant instrument. Saddle on the low side (1mm), but the 12th fret action is also pretty darn low... measures 2.5mm at the bass side and 2mm at the treble, with a reasonable amount of relief to the neck. Healthy amount of playwear. Pick scrapes and pickwear to the Spruce top. Aesthetic finish checking to the rear. Super uncommon 'C.F. Martin' branded Sperzel tuners. Older refret with plenty of life remaining. This one is perfect for the stage. Made in USA. Serial number 434352. Includes a 1990s era TKL case.
