This 1942 D-18 exudes bluegrass battle scars, with decades of wear evident throughout - miles that have resulted in rich, unstoppable tone. The top is very thin at this point, with light bracing, contributing to its excellent tone. It's undergone a neck reset, yielding excellent playability with plenty of saddle, and its perfectly carved "V" neck is a perfect palm pairing. Repair-wise it has substantial finish wear throughout with spots of touch up, several repaired cracks, a replaced fingerboard and a repaired headstock. For a further in-depth look at its full repair history, check out our specs tab. An excellent wartime D-18 with endless mojo. Includes new Martin Geib-style case.
