Martin Custom Shop Expert D-18 1937 'Ambertone Stage 1 Aged' Acoustic Guitar

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Includes Hardshell Case

The Martin Custom Shop Expert D-18 1937 'Ambertone Stage 1 Aged' is a masterfully built acoustic that fuses vintage authenticity with modern reliability. Featuring a premium Adirondack spruce top and genuine mahogany back and sides, this dreadnought delivers the classic Martin tone with exceptional balance, punch, and warmth. Martin’s proprietary Stage 1 aging and Vintage Low Gloss finish add the look and feel of a well-worn, broken-in instrument—ideal for players who crave the charm of a vintage guitar with the precision of new construction.

Inside, hide glue and cloth strip construction combine with scalloped Adirondack bracing to produce incredible resonance and sustain. The 1-3/4" bone nut and 25.5" scale length ensure articulate note definition and dynamic response. Waverly open-back tuners provide stable tuning while adding to the guitar’s period-correct aesthetic. The Ambertone sunburst finish adds a touch of visual flair, making this D-18 a standout both sonically and visually.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.

If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.

Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain /  colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
