This '52 D-18 came to us with quality repair work needing nothing but a new set of strings. The guitar has a replacement bridge and saddle, a small heel crack that was properly repaired, neck reset, new nut, one repaired top crack below the bridge, and one repaired crack in the back. The repair work was well done and has received a thorough inspection by us before being offered here to you. This guitar plays and sounds wonderful, and would make an exceptional workhorse guitar for serious musicians or weekend flatpickers alike!
