Where Purchased: My Favorite Guitars
Year Purchased: 2008
Price Paid: 3400.00 ($US)
This is my very first NEW guitar and I was concerned about getting a "dud". I asked that the seller (Jon Garon) to pick me a great sounding box and he did. The D-18GE has a great "bright, yet adds just enough "bass" to be heard.
Sound Rating: 10
The D-18GE came ready to play and setup perfect..No adjustments were needed to make this guitar turn heads. I did change the strings to medium gauge. That eliminated some VERY minor buzzing...
Setup Rating: 10
The D-18GE is typical of the Martin quality and appearence. This is a perfect guitar.
Appearance Rating: 10
The D-18GE came stock with Waverly tuners and scalloped braces from the 1934 specs. This guitar also came with bone nut and saddle / bridge. This contributes to the great sound.
Reliability Rating: 10
