It's finish exhibits the wonderful, natural wear associated with years and years of use. She still has the original frets and they are in great shape! Comes with the Fender Hardshell Case pictured. You'll notice in the photos that the tip of the pickguard that broke off was replaced, no big deal. What is a big deal is the magic of the legendary 1962 Stratocaster and the love, the blood, sweat and tears of the players who created the legend. This guitar is one lean mean TONE MACHINE! Weighing in at 7.3 lbs, she's light and resonate! But man, plug this baby in, and WOW! The tone of this guitar is FAT, WARM AND FULL. TONE, TONE AND MORE TONE and the Brazilian Rosewood board gives an added fullness and warmth to the tone! The hallmark of a Vintage Strat pickup is it's ability to change tonal color with the force of change in pick attack, giving an array of tonal voicing. The bridge has just enough bite to let the strings ring through while distorted without getting too muddy or muffled and the mid and neck pups provide a wide array of clean and natural tones. She screams Hendrix/SRV with great harmonics and overtones, powerful, punchy and sweet too!

The D-18V is the "creme de la creme." All the looks and the classic tone that has elevated the CF Martin name over the decades show through in this fine guitar. The tone is deep, rich and beautifully balanced. It's that sweet warm full bodied BIG FAT TONE of Elvis in the early years. If you are a connoisseur of guitars and you demand the very best, you owe it to yourself to play the D-18V.
The D-18V features solid genuine mahogany construction in the back, sides, and neck, and a solid Sitka spruce top. The soft V profile is great for getting good leverage around the upper neck and it gradually rounds out a bit towards the 12th to 14th frets. The fingerboard and bridge are both made from solid ebony. More timeless appointments include old style dot inlays, bone nut and saddle, nickel Gotoh tuners with butterbean knobs, and intricate binding designs. The entire instrument is finished in a special varnish for an "aged" look, and sports the old style CF Martin logo on the headstock.
The big difference between a standard D-18 and the D-18V is that Martin's famous "X-bracing" has been shifted 0.5 inch closer to the sound hole. The result is that a larger area of the top vibrates in response to string movements. A larger vibrating area means that the D-18V has the potential to play louder and with more bass.
Brand new, complete with the Original Hardshell case, Hang Tags and plenty of that BIG FAT TONE, that you would expect from a Martin Acoustic! Please visit our website www.route66classicguitars.com for more photos and info. Thanks! more information »
