What’s better than a new Martin D-18? A new special edition D-18 from the Custom Shop, featuring an Adirondack spruce top and forward shifted Golden Era hand shaped scalloped bracing. Aging toner, tortoise binding, ebony bridge, Golden Era modern belly drop-in saddle, 1 3/4 nut, GE modified low oval carve, ebony fingerboard, open gear butterbean tuners. A terrific dread.

Martin sez: “Top-shelf tonewoods meet handcrafted Custom Shop quality in this accessible, no-compromise Dreadnought. With Adirondack spruce, genuine mahogany, and forward-shifted bracing, it’s a powerful, resonant classic—ready to play, no special order required.”
