Tex! Is raring to go. This 1944 Martin D-18, affectionately dubbed “Tex” for its namesake carved on the top (plus “Duncan” below that), is so explosively energetic that you breathe on the strings and it goes to eleven. Quick, lively, with a crisp fundamental like the best Mahogany/Adi combo you ever heard. This is a road warrior that’s not road weary; wide awake. Extensive finish checks and play wear only add to the package. If you’re ready for a 1944 D-18 that packs a cold hard punch, sign on for a ride with this seasoned singer.

Here's a true vintage Martin that has the sound we all covet. All of us here in the shop are simply in love with this guitar. You barely touch it and it fills the room with music. It is alive! It has wonderful patina and stories, including the name Tex Duncan carved in the top as was common back in the day. Just holding this guitar you can almost hear the stories it has to tell, but when you play it those stories comes to life. 
It's like this one knows one speed, and that's with the gas all the way to the floor. I absolutely love it when a guitar immediately grabs me, and this well-seasoned veteran 44 D-18 did just that. I sincerely don't want to put it down. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
