This Authentic Series replication of a 1937 D-18 stays true to the original with hide glue construction and historically accurate detailing. It features genuine mahogany back and sides paired with an Adirondack spruce top, along with an Authentic circa 1937 bracing pattern.
The VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) ages the wood to replicate the sound of a vintage Martin, offering the tonal qualities once reserved for pre-war instruments. Martin’s craftspeople have also recreated the period-correct body profile, reflecting dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin's history.
This instrument delivers a tactile, visual, and auditory experience reminiscent of the 1930s. Finished in Aged Ambertone, it offers a beautifully authentic look and sound. Comes with a hard shell case.
