Description

The Martin D-18 is one of the most iconic guitars in Martin’s lineup, trusted by legends of music and players like you for nearly a century. Known as a tried-and-true workhorse, its Dreadnought size delivers the bold, projective tone and strong bass that have shaped countless performances and recordings. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the D-18 offers a full and balanced voice with bright trebles, a punchy midrange, and exceptional clarity in an iconic, no-frills design that has always delivered. The satin neck with a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4″ scale length ensures unmatched comfort and playability. Elegant ebony details, including the bridge, bridge pins, and fingerboard with abalone dot inlays, complement its timeless style.
