Frequently Asked Questions
The LH designation simply indicates it’s built for left-handed players; the tonal characteristics and build quality are identical to the right-handed version.
The D18 typically has a comfortable, low profile neck, though individual preferences vary; a visit to a local dealer is recommended for proper assessment.
Expect a focused, warm tone with a strong fundamental; it won’t have the extreme highs or lows of some other tonewood combinations, favoring a more traditional acoustic voice.
