Understated looks, timeless tone. The warm tone of mahogany and authentic spruce couple with resonant scalloped bracing under the hood for a sound that's honest, authoritative, and clear.

Why We Love This

The Martin D-18 harkens back to the company's most cherished instruments, with an aesthetic and voice that's remained largely unchanged since the 1930's.

As part of the refreshed 2025 Standard Series, the D-18 incorporates "Golden Era" top bracing, for added sustain and low-end resonance, alongside a "Golden Era" modern belly bridge, fit with ebony pins, and a host of vintage-style modifications like rounded fingerboard edges, a sleeker neck heel, and a 1930's style angled nut for enhanced string alignment and tone transfer.
