The design of this D-18 deliberately recalls Martin’s earliest branded Dreadnoughts. The first D-18s of the early 1930s had 12-fret neck joints and slotted headstocks; Martin moved the mainstream D-18 to the now-familiar 14-fret, square-shouldered format in 1934. This rare model from 1997 has excellent playability and sound, and carries a lot of mojo! It had a bridge detachment repair, a back bracing detachment repair, and the cow bone saddle is not original. The ‘M’ in the model name denotes mahogany, while the ‘S’ identifies the traditional slope-shoulder 12-fret body configuration.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU PURCHASES ARE DELIVERED WITH TAXES AND DUTIES PAID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll purchases include EU taxes\/duties paid, i.e., nothing further is due on receipt of goods to any EU state.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY BUY FROM US\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the world's leading specialists in used and vintage gear with over 30 years of experience.
