The Story

D-18 Authentic 1937 Dreadnought Acoustic Vintage Gloss 2022

This is a very lightly used and in excellent condition 2022 Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 model.The original case is included. It's a recreation of the incredible pre-war Martin D-18 complete with hide glue constructionand historically accurate detailing! This guitar features genuine mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top, and it includes an Authentic circa 1937 bracing pattern. It includes period-correct "18" Authentic-style appointments and an Authentic neck barrel and heel, and new this year, a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin’s history. Martin’s VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) is employed to age the top and braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era. Martin’s craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
