1937 Martin D-18 Natural

1937 Martin D-18 Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #66745. The Martin D-18 from 1937 is a testament to the era's exceptional craftsmanship in acoustic guitar making. This particular model, with serial #66745, exhibits minor signs of wear and repair, including two small cracks on the spruce top and a replaced pickguard. The mahogany back, sides, and neck have been refinished, and it has undergone several modifications, including a neck reset and the addition of a non-original large maple bridge plate and "popsicle" brace. Despite these alterations, the guitar retains its original tuners and offers excellent playability, thanks to a low bridge and straight neck. Its rich history and the adjustments it has undergone speak to its resilience and the care of its various owners. The 1937 Martin D-18 is highly sought after by collectors for its warm, rich tone and historical significance, making it a prized possession for any enthusiast of vintage acoustic guitars.
