Description: Description The 2004 Martin D-18 is now in stock! ! Since the D-18 was released as a 14-fret dreadnought model in 1934 (the same goes for the D-28), it has supported the Martin company as Martin's representative model along with the D-28. In recent years (2010s), major specifications have been changed, and the standard series D-18 that used to exist has been discontinued and no longer exists. This instrument that has arrived this time is made in 2004 and is D-18 with standard series specifications. It has been 20 years, so there are signs of use commensurate with the model year (fine, small, noticeable scratches/dents, dents on the back of the neck, marks from removing the battery snap on the weather check/neck block, etc.). However, you can currently use it without any problems. The frets have been adjusted, the nut and saddle replaced, and the whole thing has been inspected and adjusted. According to the specifications of this generation, the nut: Corian, the saddle: Micarta, but in order to improve the sound quality, volume, and expressiveness of this instrument, the nut and saddle are made and replaced by soaking them in cow bone oil. A strap pin is attached to the neck heel cap. The pickup has been previously installed, and the end pin hole has been enlarged for the end jack, making it easy to install the pickup after purchase. The D-18 has also undergone specification changes depending on the era. These days, older, vintage models are highly valued and prices are soaring. For players who want to move away from the satisfaction of value, status, and ownership and instead engage in realistic music and performance-based activities, we recommend modern instruments from the 2000s that are affordable and easy to use. The nut width is a familiar size of 42.9mm (current D-18 nut width is 44.5mm), so you can enjoy ease of operation and feel without stress. Although it is not well known, Martin's mahogany side/back models all have the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings that sound very beautiful and charming. This also applies to this instrument, which has a unique sound and feel that does not exist in other Martin models with side and back materials. For example, in terms of chords, when you play the "D" chord from the 4th string down to the 1st string, you will experience a very beautiful and charming tone when you play it with your fingernails. Mahogany: A gentle and warm unique sound feel unique to 18, which is assembled with side and back! ! I especially recommend it to those who are looking for a D-18 with specifications before the current specifications! ! Although there are some signs of use (fine, small, noticeable scratches/dents, dents on the back of the neck, weather checks, etc.), it can be used without any problems at present.
