Description
A new guitar that looks and sounds like it's been played for 80 years, the Aged version of the acclaimed D-18 Authentic 1939 includes all of the goodness that comes with Martin's Authentic Series instruments, like hide glue construction and hand-scalloped X-bracing-plus the VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM (VTS) that ages the wood to replicate the sound of a vintage Martin. This amazing model has been methodically & painstakingly distressed inside and out, in all the right places. The result is a tactile, visual, and auditory experience that will transport you all the way back to the 1930s.
