Martin’s Standard Series models have long been known for resonant warm tones, quality craftsmanship and tasteful styling. Standard Series guitars are owned and played by many of today’s country and rock stars for the same reasons that many of music’s early stars played Martin guitars. The D18 also features a polished gloss finish, East Indian rosewood fingerboard and chrome Gotoh tuners. Hardshell case included.
The Martin D-18 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar is a traditional-style dreadnought that features a rosewood fingerboard and bridge with black binding and pickguard plus chrome-enclosed tuning machines. Solid mahogany back and sides combine with a large dreadnought guitar size to produce a loud, clear treble and a warm, moderate bass.
