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

We sold this revamped Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 VTS back in October of 2022 and the original owner has just listed it with us on consignment, opting for a smaller guitar.

This new iteration of the D-18 Authentic 1937 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.
