Custom Shop D-18 1937 Acoustic Guitar Stage 1 Aging Item Description

Introducing one of the latest offerings from the Martin Custom Shop, this is the D-18 1937 Dreadnought with a Natural Stage 1 Aging finish. This new Custom Shop series gives you vintage-accurate Martin build quality and tonewoods combined with the convenience of a modern adjustable truss rod. The guitar features an Adirondack spruce top paired with genuine mahogany back and sides, a Standard Taper neck profile, subtle 18-style appointments (dot inlays, a multi-stripe rosette and body binding). Hide glue and cloth strip construction give these guitars an incredible level of resonance and projection. If you're looking to add one of the best 18-Style dreadnoughts Martin offers to your collection, it would be very hard to beat this guitar. The guitar is finished with Stage 1 aging, which is a light aging technique adds in lacquer checking, but no heavy spots of wear. Just the right amount!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
