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 new Martin D-18 harkens back to the company's "Golden Era" instruments with the additions of forward-shifted X-bracing (scalloped), ebony bridge & fingerboard and 1 3/4" nut width.

A great-looking guitar with endless versatility, from bluegrass, to folk to pop, the Martin D-18 delivers classic, golden-warm mahogany ring with brightness and crisp definition that countless other guitar makers strive to emulate.
