Part of Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025, with enhanced tone, comfort, and style. The Martin D-18 is a cornerstone of Martin’s lineup, trusted by legends and players alike for nearly a century.

Its Dreadnought size delivers bold, projective tone with strong bass, bright trebles, and a punchy midrange, making it a tried-and-true workhorse for performances and recordings. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the D-18 offers a full, balanced voice with exceptional clarity.

The satin neck features a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length for unmatched comfort and playability. Elegant ebony details, including the bridge, bridge pins, and fingerboard with abalone dot inlays, enhance its timeless style. Comes with a hard shell case.
