Martin D18 Authentic 1939 VTS
Een nieuwe gitaar die klinkt alsof ze al 80 jaar wordt gespeeld, de veelgeprezen Martin D18 Authentic 1939 VTS bevat alles wat je maar kunt wensen in een nieuwe Martin Authentic Series gitaar en meer!
Neem bijvoorbeeld de hide-glue lijmverbindingen en met de hand gestoken scalloped rearward shifted X-bracing;Â plus het Vintage Tone System (VTS) waarmee het hout kunstmatig veroudert wordt om de magische klank van een echte Vintage Martin D18 te benaderen. En... hij komt erg dicht in de buurt!
Maar daar houdt het niet mee op. Dit verbazingwekkende model is zeer gedetailleerd van binnen en buiten, de gitaar voelt en klinkt ook daadwerkelijk als een instrument uit de jaren 30. Inclusief luxe Martin koffer.
Martin Authentics are built the old way; with hide glue for extra sustain just like in the 30s and a VTS aged top. The historically accurate details were received through a CAT/scan machine in the Smithsonian Institute.
Made exactly like a 1939 D18 from the Martin Museum, with Genuine mahogany and Adirondack. Rearward Shifted scalloped X-bracing makes that this guitar sounds especially open straight from the case. Play it for half an hour and it'll sound even better. The authentic is the D18 you would want; open, balanced, clear and powerful. A very diverse instrument with which Martin has proven itself once again.
Included is luxury Harptone case.
