Martin / D18 / 1945 / Guitar

The Martin D18 has made a great impression on the music world and has been a true classic for many years. That is why it is very special to have a copy in our shop that has ensured this legendary reputation! This D18 from 1945 has already done many kilometers, and is still in excellent condition. This is a real bargain for the enthusiast, because Martin only sold 475 copies in this year of construction. In 1945 Martin equipped his guitars with a Sitka or Adirondack spruce top, whereby the D18s were mainly equipped with Sitka as we can also see on this example. The braces in the body were no longer 'scalloped' since the end of 1944, and if we look at the headstock we find another interesting detail from the wartime; the tuners have plastic buttons, and have no 'bushings' on the front of the headstock, and this saved metal for use in the war. This specimen has been well maintained over the years, which is why it still plays very well. And what power comes from this dreadnought! It does not need a pickup because with its powerful sound and great balance, this is the dream of every bluegrass player. Over the years, some work has been carried out to keep the guitar in this fantastic condition. For example, a neck reset and refret have been carried out, and the bridge has also been replaced. Furthermore, the play marks on the back of the body and neck show the many hours of playing time that this D18 has received over the years, and the guitar has acquired an irresistible appearance as a result. Without a doubt the crowning glory of any guitar collection! Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
