SOLD [FS] 2014 Martin D-18 1935 Sunburst (£1,950)

Michael_2287

A Martin D-18 1935 Standard Sunburst made in 2014. 

I bought this guitar ~2/3 months ago and selling now ONLY because I am in the unenviable position of having almost immediately found a guitar that better suits my playing! 

I really have nothing bad to say about this guitar. It sounds and looks beautiful. I have tried to capture how the sunburst finish really opens up into an almost tobacco burst when in direct (sun)light, but also fades into deep black otherwise. 

From the original seller: 
"A few small dings on the body and small rear binding repair" 

- I consider these to be very minor, and the binding repair is superficial.

Collection from Glasgow

Asking for £1,950 (o.v.n.o)

If interested please don't hesitate to get in touch! Although, I am new to this community but looking forward to future interactions!

Cheers,
Michael
