I have a D-35 and love it, and took a chance on this D-18 Retro Acoustic/Electric, and it is also a great guitar. Martin strings for me play too hard, and I replace everything with Elixir strings, which makes a huge difference. I go back and forth between the D-35 and D-18 Retro as to which is my favorite guitar, and can't decide. Got this one as a blem on Zzounds and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it cosmetically or in terms of playability. I highly recommend this guitar.

This is absolutely the best guitar I have ever owned or played. I have many guitars including high-end Martin’s and Gibsons. But when I picked up this guitar it made music that sounded like angels singing from heaven. This is the greatest guitar I have ever owned or played
