According to the D18 that one has his day, from one model to another even in the same series the quality of this guitar can vary widely, the average super. I had the opportunity to experience the two extremes

UTILIZATION

The neck is quite thin and very pleasant, light guitar, the sound course depends on the model, but it is a very beautiful guitar equilibrated in the treble and midrange, bass a little behind compared to other models martin.

SOUNDS

Excellent guitar for bluegrass and country and blues, is expressed very well in groups or the problem of too low (feedback) (barrel effect) is difficult to manage with guitars or basses are presenres. why the D18 is remarkable. (eg if you play in a group with drummer or the volume is already the minimum)

OVERALL OPINION

A urges electric guitar playing in groups and in need of a quality that has acoustic sound (that's another thing takamine)
