{"product_id":"martin-2023-d-18-standard-series-w-hard-case","title":"Martin 2023 D-18 Standard Series w\/ Hard Case Excellent","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo sales tax for US customers outside California.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartin's D-18 is pretty much the perfect dreadnought. The ebony fretboard and bridge add clarity and articulation to the high-mids and treble, while the mahogany back and sides keep the low end focused rather than boomy. This is a guitar built for strumming and flatpicking in equal measure. Coming in at a lower price point than the rosewood-backed D-28 doesn't hurt either.  Martin decided to add Golden Era style scalloped bracing to this part of the line, pushing it even further into stupid-good-deal status. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Martin D-18 has been in continuous production since 1932, and the current Standard Series represents Martin's commitment to traditional construction — scalloped X-bracing, solid tonewoods throughout, and a 25.4\" long scale. The Modified Low Oval neck profile with High Performance Taper is a modern appointment that makes the instrument more accessible across the fretboard without departing from the traditional D-18 character. The 16\" fretboard radius, 1-3\/4\" nut width, and bone nut are all spec'd for a player's guitar. Grover open-gear tuners, abalone dot inlays, and a faux tortoiseshell pickguard round out the traditional aesthetic. The maple bridge plate and spruce bracing are original and in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall condition is excellent: the original finish is intact, the neck, frets, and hardware are all in excellent shape, and the guitar presents very well.  There is one small ding on the top — see photos. There is also a small finish crack at the top\/side waist on the back — see photos. Neither involves a structural crack or repair. Fretboard condition is excellent.  Action measures 3\/32\" on both the 1st and 6th strings at the 12th fret.  Comes in a generic hard shell case in excellent condition — not the original Martin case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 3lbs 14oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall length: 41\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString Spacing At Bridge: 2.168\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 1st String At 12th Fret: 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 6th String At 12th Fret: 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Material: mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNeck Profile: Modified Low Oval (High Performance Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: abalone dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .817\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: .922\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuner Brand And Model: Grover open gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Material: bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody length: 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower bout: 15-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 10-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper bout: 11-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody depth\/thickness: 4-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Material: Solid Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Condition: very good, one small ding - see pic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Cracks: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
