Product information

A timeless mahogany dreadnought with a sleek satin finish - effortless feel, classic Martin tone, and unbeatable value.

The Martin D-18 Satin offers everything we love about this iconic mahogany dreadnought - warm, articulate tone and classic Martin craftsmanship - now with a smooth satin finish that feels fast, plays effortlessly, and comes in at a more accessible price point than its gloss counterpart.

Tonally, it’s everything you'd expect from a D-18: clear, balanced low end, sparkling trebles, and that unmistakable midrange warmth that makes it a go-to for flatpickers, singer-songwriters, and session players alike.

Whether you’re drawn to the understated elegance of the satin look or simply want a D-18 that puts tone and playability front and center, this model delivers in spades.

Priced with Martin hardshell case.
