Martin D-18 Standard Series Acoustic Guitar, Satin 1935 Sunburst w/Hard Case

Refined for 2025, we have the Martin D-18 Standard Series finished in a Satin 1935 Sunburst finish. Since 1931, the Martin D-18 has been inspiring generations of musicians with its legendary history and iconic full-bodied sound. This D-18 features welcomed upgrades such as a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and Golden Era scalloped bracing to the already well established work horse. 

The famed 14-fret dreadnought is constructed from a solid spuce top and is paired with a mahogany body. This classic pairing of tonewoods offers a distinct sweetness and warmth with snap and clarity to its voice. The body is finished in a satin 1935 style sunburst and is accented with black binding and a faux tortoise pickguard. Under the hood, the D-18 features Golden Era forward-shifted scalloped x-bracing. This bracing combination allows the top to move more freely for increased responsiveness while also promoting a strong low end, great for dreadnoughts! 

Glued into the body with its signature dovetail neck joint, the neck profile has been reimagined to a more comfortable Golden Era Modified Low Oval profile with satin finish. This appointment change paired with a thinner ebony fingerboard results in a playing experience that feels effortless. The fingerboard is crowned with 20 frets and is accented with abalone inlays. 

Strings are loaded into the Golden Era Modern Belly bridge and capped with ebony bridge pins before making their way up to the nickel open gear tuners to be strung to pitch. The classic square shaped headstock shows off its east Indian rosewood headplate and displays its Martin logo proudly. 

Elegantly redesigned for modern day performance, the D-18 is ready to inspire for another 95 years. Hardshell case included.
