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

As part of the 2025 Martin Standard Series refresh, we welcome back the D-18 with a sleek satin finish. For generations, the famed dreadnought has been featured on numerous recordings and has inspired many. Back and better than ever, the D-18 has been fine tuned for the modern musician. 

The 14-fret dreadnought's body is constructed from a solid spruce top and is paired with mahogany back/sides. A tonewood pairing used for decades, the guitar projects a sweet warmth with clarity and focus. To support its top, Golden Era forward shifted scalloped x-bracing is expertly placed to promote a more lively top with enhanced vibration and low end. The body features a satin finish for comfortability and left natural to showcase its unique spruce top and is accented with black binding, old style 18 rosette, and a faux tortoise pickguard. 

In traditional Martin fashion, a select hardwood neck with a dovetail neck joint is glued into the body and they meet at the 14th fret. The D-18's new GE Modified Low Oval neck shape features a high performance taper with satin finish. The neck is topped with a thinner ebony fingerboard, 18-style abalone dot inlays, and crowned with 20 frets.

For improved playability, strings are loaded into the Golden Era Modern Belly ebony bridge and are capped with ebony end pins. The strings are then tuned to pitch with the nickel open gear tuners. The D-18's iconic square headstock proudly displays the Martin logo in the script old style overlay font.

Complete with a hardshell case, this refined D-18 serves as the bridge between vintage sound and modern playability.
