The Martin D18 Standard Series Acoustic Guitar

Martin's D-18 is a legendary acoustic guitar model with a Sitka spruce top and a back, sides and neck made of mahogany. The fretboard and bridge are both made of ebony. All of the wood types combine to give the D-18 a warm, bright acoustic sound with excellent articulation and a wide dynamic range. This dreadnought from the Standard series looks and feels as good as it sounds and comes complete with a case. The D-18 has been played by such illustrious names as Elvis Presley, Paul Simon and Neil Young.

Understated looks, timeless tone. The warm tone of mahogany and spruce couple with resonant scalloped bracing under the hood for a sound that's honest, authoritative, and clear. Vintage details include open-geared tuners and classic 18-style appointments pair with a modern, low profile neck for an old-soul sound. Available in full gloss and price includes a Martin ply hardshell case.
