A premium take on a classic, this Martin Custom Shop D-18 pairs an Adirondack spruce top with rare sinker mahogany back and sides, delivering a powerful, responsive voice with exceptional depth and character. The Adirondack top offers strong headroom and dynamic range, while the sinker mahogany adds warmth, dryness, and a mature tonal complexity often associated with vintage instruments.
Built in the spirit of pre-war D-18s, this guitar delivers a bold fundamental, clear mids, and a punchy low end that holds together beautifully under heavy attack. Whether for flatpicking, strumming, or vocal accompaniment, it responds with authority and nuance. 6200
A standout Custom Shop build that brings together modern precision and old-world tone.
