The neck in particular, coupled with the paint peeling and paint pulling,
The neck, in particular, has a comfortable feel as if you are holding a vintage mahogany neck.
The shape is a C-shape with a good thickness and has a firm grip.
The sound has a nice tone with a sense of dryness.
The D-18 is known for its sparkling high frequency range.
