This 2002 D-18 features a straight-grained Spruce top that has aged to a nice golden brown with a little bit of wave in the grain right above the rosette. Bridge and board are both rosewood on this D-18. The Rosewood fingerboard has red striping across with little to no dark spots. Martin's "Oval" shape neck profile is fairly skinny with a little bit of shoulder so it's perfect for playing bar chords. The Mahogany back and sides have a nice book match with a striped grain pattern on the left and right side. The K&K pure mini pickup has been installed.
This 2002 Martin D-18 is in good/very good condition. The main cosmetic issue is markings from after-market bridge pins that came with the guitar upon arrival. The bridge pins left an imprint of alphabetical letters right below each pin (see photos). The aftermarket pins are in the case and modern, white plastic pins are currently installed on the guitar.
