vintage 1970 Martin D-18 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar with original case. Cleaned and Setup for optimal playability with Daddario EJ16 12-53 (10/30/25). The case is functional but see pictures of hinges – may soon need to be replaced. There is a decal on the back of the headstock.

– Overall, really nice shape for this vintage
– Action is 6.5/64″-5/64″. Excellent for this guitar, this era
– Braces are solid
– Several scuffs or scrapes on the back, possibly from strap damage inside case
– Bridge replaced or reglued. There is a small sanding defect on the bass side of the bridge away from the neck, on the bottom. This leaves an impression that the bridge is lifting. It is not.
– Vintage appropriate Grover “Milk Bottle” tuners
– Some bridge plate damage from string rings
– Minor glue droppings on the inside back, probably from the bridge repair
– Oversize (rosewood?) bridge plate, appears in good shape, and is period correct
– No adjustable truss rd – relief is slightly high, but ok
