2013 Martin D-18V in Mint/As New condition

Description

Here we are again after many years.  Finally ready to sell the last of my pristine acoustic collection. These last 7 guitars are the ones I have used for home/studio personal playing the past 15 years or so. All were chosen for their specific tone, playability, and beautiful condition over the years as the opportunity presented itself from a manufacturer visit or a local music shop on the road. These were my personal favorites and covered all the sounds, volume, and tone I ever needed, and were never used on the road and stayed safely in the studio. They are all in Excellent condition ranging from VG/EX to EX/NOS.
This auction is for an early 2013 production Martin D-18V in excellent to NOS condition.  This was my guitar of choice the last 7 years or so for cutting through thick mixes and melodic rhythm for personal playing and songwriting in the studio due to incredible and accurate tone, volume and playability.
What will surprise you - Excellent, almost new condition better than wall hanger in store, slightest hint of wear on pick guard and frets, and a smell that will shock you for a 2013 model of a brand new hearty mahogany body due to perfect hydration and always in case storage.
As a member of Martin's Vintage Series acoustic guitars, the D-18V Dreadnought features many of the characteristics of Martin's pre-World War II instruments - old-style squared headstock, modified V-shaped neck, period fingerboard inlays, scalloped bracing, beveled tortoise colored pickguard, vintage tuning machines and Gieb style case and more. The top of the D-18V is made of solid Spruce, while the back and sides are of Mahogany. The D-18V features an ebony fingerboard and bridge. Other vintage touches to this beautiful instrument include old-style abalone position dots and open-geared chrome tuners with butterbean knobs.
Does not have factory pick up.

Great pick up from
brakishh2o
on the production year of this D-18V.
When I was setting up the listings for these final guitars I made a mistake in my notes. It is a 2012 and not a 2013. On line decoder came up with: Production year: February 2012, (factory: Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA) which was confirmed on a call to Martin CS a few weeks ago.  2012 was the last year of production for this great model. Good luck!
