The Martin D-18 stands as an American guitar icon. It is the epitome of the timeless Martin sound that has been heard on records throughout the decades and played by legends across generations. Few guitar designs have ever perfected the simplicity in construction of a pre-war Martin D-18 of this era. Its solid Mahogany back and sides, and mortise and tenon neck joint, paired with an Adirondack spruce top and forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, give the 1938 D-18 its timeless tone and projection. The 1938 D-18’s “C” neck shape with its subtle “V” profile, and its 1 3/4” nut width, create a perfect combination of comfort and playability. These features come together in concert to create the instrument that has defined one of the most distinctive acoustic guitar sounds in history. Find out more:
