Location: seattle | I got an ultra that's just a hoot to play - so my dream guitar just sits in case.
if you do blue grass, this would be the one! it's pretty loud and has great martin tone - this one sounded just like a D18 authentic I a/b it with. it's light as a feather and has Adirondack top, Brazilian headstock overlay - AND Waverley tuners - sooooo i'll take $1675 plus shipping, i'll even take 2 payments on it, but it'll have to be Joe friendly terms. pm me if interested --- oh yes, this one was often used and I suspect gig'd with - so don't expect a museum piece. 18 inches and out looks new, but it is used - personally I find the museum pieces are that way for a reason - this begs to be played and is truely a workin man's instrument. so that's about it - |

I'm just a bit up to my eyeballs in dreadnaughts right now (6 of them). But the D18GE is a nice one and you should have no trouble finding a good home for it. $2400. is a very reasonable price.
If you want to trade it straight up for an Ovation Book Mando let me know.

Toby thanks for comment - let me clarify - shop added their cut and took it to 2400 - I'm asking 1650 - a real steal I believe |
