Description
One of the most recognizable guitars in popular music, the D-18 has been a favorite of many a player ever since its introduction in 1931. Although guitar models may change throughout time, the combination of mahogany and spruce in a dreadnought body has remained a timeless classic.
This D-18 from 1967 comes from an era that saw a specific aesthetic change to the model, as tortoise guards were discontinued in 1966. This guitar sports its original black pickguard, which became a feature during beginning with the 1967 production year. Its body is comprised of solid mahogany back and sides, a solid Sitka spruce top, Brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge (with drop-in saddle), and the correct PAF Grover tuners. Also constructed of Brazilian rosewood is the headplate, in addition to the 14 fret-to-the-body fingerboard inlaid with six Mother-of-Pearl dots of decreasing size.
The guitar offers a well-balanced blend of dreadnought bass, woody mids, and percussive trebles
