Secondhand Martin 1966 D-18 w/Original Case
A true vintage workhorse from Martin's golden-era dreadnought lineage. The 1966-era D-18 is loved for its punchy projection, warm “woody” character, and the kind of opened-up resonance that only decades of playing (and time) can deliver.
1966-era D-18 highlights (typical of the period)
- Classic Martin dreadnought body shape for strong volume, headroom and room-filling projection
- Spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides for clear fundamentals, dry warmth and articulate note separation
- Iconic mid-'60s Martin voice that suits flatpicking, strumming and singer-songwriter accompaniment
- Made in Martin's Nazareth, Pennsylvania tradition with period-correct styling and understated vintage appeal
- Rosewood fingerboard and bridge commonly seen on Martins from this era
- Includes the original hard case (a big plus for vintage authenticity, protection and collectability)
