Description: Description Martin / D-18 Standard [S/N 2785520] The standard model “D-18” is as popular as the D-28! The dreadnought acoustic guitar "D-18" was born in 1932. At that time it was a 12th fret joint, but in 1934 it became a 14th fret joint. Also, the fingerboard at that time was ebony, but in 1947 the specification was changed to a rosewood fingerboard. Additionally, there were major changes in specifications in 2012. *Specification changes have been made to the fingerboard width at the nut, ebony fingerboard/bridge, bracing, logo decal, Style 18 rosette, etc. Made in the USA, Nazareth Factory The BODY is made entirely of veneer, with Sitka spruce on the top and mahogany on the sides and back. TOP uses an "aging toner" that reproduces the vintage texture. The D-28 uses rosewood for the sides and back, giving it a tight bass and extended treble, while the D-18 uses mahogany for a delicate and rich midrange sound. The NECK joint uses a traditional dovetail NECK joint, and the bracing uses scalloped X bracing (Forward Shifted). The body has tortoiseshell binding, and the top color gives it an antique feel. The BODY has a glossy gloss finish, and the NECK has a satin finish for excellent playability. The fingerboard width at the nut is slightly widened to reduce the change in fingerboard width from the low position to the high position. The pegs use a vintage style with open gear back and butter bean knobs. The DOT inlay on the fingerboard has been changed from two DOTs on the 7th fret to one, making it a pattern from 1937 to 1943. It can handle a wide range of sounds, from delicate sounds that will please those with a fingerpicking style to loud stroke sounds. The response is great, the sustain is pleasant, and the sound is mild but has a core! ■Accessories: hard case, end pin Construction:Mahogany Blocks/Dovetail Neck Joint Top: Solid Sitka Spruce Rosette: Style 18 Top Bracing Pattern: Standard ''X'' Scalloped, Forward Shifted Top Braces: Solid Sitka Spruce 5/16'' Back Material: Solid Genuine Mahogany Back Purfling Style:18 Side Material: Solid Genuine Mahogany Endpiece: Delmar Tortoise Color Binding: Tortoise Color Top Inlay Style:Multiple Black/White Boltaron Neck Material:Select Hardwood Neck Shape: Modified Low Oval Profile w/Performing Artist Taper Nut Material: Bone Headstock: Solid/Square Taper Headplate: Solid East Indian Rosewood / Large Old Style Logo Heelcap: Tortoise Color Fingerboard Material: Solid Black Ebony Scale Length: 25.4'' Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1-3/4'' Fingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2-1/8'' Fingerboard Position Inlays: Old Style 18 Fingerboard Binding: none Bridge Material: Solid Black Ebony Bridge Style: 1930s Style Belly w/ Drop-In Saddle Bridge String: Spacing 2-3/16'' Saddle: 16'' Radius/Compensated/Bone Tuning Machines: Nickel Open-Geared w/ Butterbean Knobs Payment Please pay within 4 days after purchase.
