Martin / D18 / 1957 / Guitar

The Martin D18 14-fret has been an integral part of the musical landscape since its introduction in 1934. Renowned for its versatility and characteristic sound, this guitar is one of the greatest sources of inspiration in the guitar world. This characterful Martin D18 from 1957 is no exception. Considering its age, this Martin D18 from 1957 is still in very good condition. The finish shows weather checking and playwear that are to be expected, with some added repairs. For example, a patch has been glued into the the treble side of the body, with a partial overspray also taking place. There are also some cracks on both the back and sides. The bridge has two small plugs, with two holes visible in the maple bridge plate. The guitar has also undergone a refret and neck reset, and the bridge saddle has been replaced. On the back of the headstock a burning mark can be found. The guitar, on the other hand, still has the original Kluson Single Line tuners and pickguard. The guitar plays well and sounds as befits a vintage Martin. The sound is warm and balanced, with both the high and the low being expressed beautifully and with sufficient volume. The guitar comes with TFOA passport in a hardshell case.

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.
