2006 Martin D-18

Hi Lynne - I took some pictures of the guitar in the hopes that it would help identify the model #. It isn't fancy - it's beautifully plain and sounds remarkable. Does this help at all in determining the value of the instrument?

ANSWER

Hi, Staci--

From the pictures, it looks like a D-18. Here is the Blue Book general info:
