SINCE 1968Still independent
1937 was an excellent year for guitars with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation, and materials. This Authentic Series replication of a 1937 D-18 stays true to the original.
Why We Love This
The original D-18A 1937, produced from 2005 to 2012, set a new standard for attempting to recreate vintage tone in a brand new guitar, and this revamped version of the model incorporates Martin's "Vintage Tone System" and slightly redesigned body contours into what's essentially their classic D-18A package.The sound is instantly familiar: powerful, woody, warm, and bright all at once, with huge low end and the penetrating trebles prized by bluegrass flatpickers.
Condition: Brand New. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
