Martin / D18 / 2008 / Guitar

Looking for a timeless companion? Understated looks and a sound that has stood the test of time, that's what this Martin D18 sums up perfectly. The D18 has a rich heritage as the guitar of choice for icons such as Bob Dylan and Hank Williams, and that's no coincidence! Since its debut in the 1930s, the D18 has achieved iconic status through its superb craftsmanship and timeless sound. It's no wonder that it's still handcrafted today in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, where Martin's craftsmen put their expertise and passion into every guitar! The warm sound of mahogany combined with a Sitka spruce top supported by scalloped X-bracing gives an honest, authoritative and clear yet very powerful tone. With its timeless class and unmatched versatility, this guitar is equally at home with a singer-songwriter as with a virtuoso bluegrass artist! Details like Grover Rotomatic tuners and classic Style 18 features are paired with a C-profiled neck to recreate the old blues sound of the D18 with a mahogany body. The natural finish of the top exudes simple elegance that blends seamlessly with its unparalleled versatility. This 2008 D18 has of course suffered some playwear over the years, and is well on its way to becoming a real player! In addition to the playwear, there are several dings on the top and the soundboard, and there are a few lacquer chips along the binding around the body. The wedge at the output jack has also suffered a crack, but the jack is stable. The guitar is otherwise more than perfectly playable, and thanks to the many plays it sounds like a charm! It comes in a Hiscox case with TFOA passport.

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.
