Presentation
The D18 combines the best of the vintage and modern versions. The advanced and scaloppé (i.e. lightened) bracing has been adopted (normally reserved for the vintage and top-of-the-range series), offering the best possible response from the Sitka spruce top. The vintage pickguard with its tortoiseshell pattern, the purfling and the rosette are also in the D18 vintage tradition. The body is of course made from selected solid mahogany. Fingerboard and bridge are ebony, but the neck is modern with its Performing Artist profile, fast and comfortable. The top nut is slightly wider than the original version, and the string spacing is also more comfortable for easier playing.

Parfait, excellente finition, jouabilité exceptionnelle et sonorité très riche et équilibrée d'une excellente D18.
Par comparaison, mieux que les productions plus anciennes (2007-2012).
Aucun défaut.
