I bought this guitar new in 2008, ordered from Martin Custom shop through My Favourite Guitars, Florida. All specs as D-18 Golden Era except for 50s neck. Neck block stamped 'Custom' (Martin Custom build spec sheet available).
NB. The Martin D-18GE, or 'Marquis' as it was sometimes known, is no longer available in the UK, and used to retail for over £3k when last available. (The standard currently available D-18, although a very good guitar, is not really comparable tonally and has different specs and a sitka spruce top.)
The only second hand D-18GE that I could find online, available at time of placing this advert, in the UK is £3795. The nearest comparable Martin currently available new in the UK would probably be a D-18 Authentic.

Recent re-fret with medium stainless steel frets (no more fret wear!) and neck re-set by Dave King (UK Martin Authorised repairer).
At the same time I decided to have the pickup that I had installed, removed, to return the guitar to it's original condition. The endpin jack was removed & filled, and new endpin installed.
Quite A few dings and scrapes from normal wear, no cracks or structural issues. Decent saddle height.

Set up: just under 7/64ths and 5/64ths, with Martin 80/20 12.5s (medium lights).
Plays easily. Wonderful meaty tone, classic vintage American sound and a very versatile guitar for flat pick or finger style.
Selling due to change of style, - I now play a smaller guitar, and the D-18 no longer gets used.
