My luthier told me to NEVER get rid of my wonderful Martin D-18 as he says it's one of the best he's ever heard. Perfect setup also. It's a '68 with the small maple bridgplate and it's in damn good shape for a 40 year old played guitar. Not a museum piece, but no cracks and all original. I've just always wanted a Collings and my GAS is getting to me. I'd really like a Sunburst, but, it's not a must. Photos on request.

Neil, my '68 d18 and my d1a are a different animal. My d28 and my d2ah are pretty similar in tone.
Keep the Martin and get a d1a too.

I agree with Grant...I have a 62 D18 and a newer sunburst D1A.....much different guitars.

Both are great! You will miss whichever one you don't have!

Good luck in the trade.

I have a 2006 D2H serial number 11951 that I bought new with HSC. Exellent guitar. I had two early 60's D18's but sold them during lean times many years ago. I may be interested in a trade since I own a Collings CJSB also. Both are great instruments but if I had to keep one it would be the CJSB because I would have a hard time coming up with the $$ to buy another one. My D2H is in like new condition just like it came from the factory. Let me know if you would like to talk further

Doctor Pepper,
I would be interested. I am in talks with a guy who has a D2H SB (sunburst) but he is slammed at work and asks for more time. I am going to let him know of your (and other's ) interest and see if he is serious or not. In the mean time, if you'll email me at neilspeer@comcast.net, we could exchange some photos of our guitars.
thanks,
Neil

Actually, "SOLD" is not the story. I just bought a Collings D2HSB and now the '68 D-18 is for sale outright.

Grant, have not received it yet. I'm sure I will love it, though. Can't decide whether to hang onto the D-18 now!
DOH!
