AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
40/CS-CE13-D14-S1A
The Martin Custom Shop Expert D-18 1937 'Natural Stage 1 Aged' is a breathtaking recreation of a pre-war classic, built with modern reliability and vintage soul. This Custom Shop guitar combines the boldness and clarity of a premium Adirondack spruce top with the warmth and resonance of genuine mahogany back and sides, all in the unmistakable D, 14-fret dreadnought body for a deep, commanding voice suited to both solo performance and ensemble work.
Crafted with hide glue construction and Adirondack bracing, this guitar maximises tonal responsiveness and dynamic range. Martin's Vintage Low Gloss finish and Stage 1 ageing add visual authenticity and a broken-in feel without compromising structural integrity. From its 1-3/4" bone nut to the Waverly open-back tuners, every detail has been selected for tone, aesthetics and function, making this D-18 ideal for professionals who value heritage tone with modern performance standards.
