The 2018 Martin D-18 Authentic is a meticulously crafted tribute to the pre-war dreadnoughts, built with period-correct materials and construction techniques. Featuring an Adirondack spruce top with Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS) and mahogany back and sides, it delivers a dry, responsive tone with exceptional clarity and projection. The authentic 1939 neck profile offers a comfortable, vintage feel, while the hide glue construction enhances resonance and sustain. With its understated aesthetics and rich, open sound, this D-18 captures the essence of Martin’s legendary pre-war craftsmanship. Includes the original hardshell case.
