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 marvel combines the boldness and clarity of a premium Adirondack spruce top with the warmth and resonance of genuine mahogany back and sides. It features the unmistakable D 14-Fret dreadnought body, giving it a deep, commanding voice ideal for both solo performance and ensemble work.
Crafted with hide glue construction and Adirondack bracing, this guitar maximizes tonal responsiveness and dynamic range. Martin’s proprietary Vintage Low Gloss finish and Stage 1 aging add visual authenticity and broken-in feel without compromising structural integrity. From its 1-3/4" bone nut to the Waverly open-back tuners, every detail has been carefully selected for tone, aesthetics, and functionality—making it the perfect tool for professionals who value heritage tone with modern performance standards.
