NEW ARRIVAL Martin’s Golden Era series ran from 2000 – 2016, and represented the best features of instruments in that era. However Martin also produced a 1934 Golden Era D18 model which is a more accurately detailed version. The Adirondack Spruce top, Big Leaf Mahogany back and sides with forward shifted scalloped “X” bracing are just a few design features that make this guitar sound different to the other D18’s. It’s a very dynamic sounding guitar, play it lightly and it chimes with open airy undertones, put a pick on it and it roars. The bass is powerful without being boomy, and the trebles are strong and pure. Adirondack takes longer to open up, but at 14 years old, this guitars already sounds mature. Other things to mention are the Ebony fingerboard and bridge, Brazilian headstock and open back Waverley tuners – plus the hand signed label by CF Martin IV. The guitar’s in very good condition, with a repaired back crack, and one small ding on the top, lower bout, bass side. As you’d expect with such a high end guitar, it comes in its original deluxe hard case.
