We are excited to offer the just released 2025 Martin 18 Series. These models harken back to the classic models of the 30s and 40s, providing some of the most sought after and most recorded tones in history.

As part of the newly refreshed Standard series, the 18 series models include Golden Era Top Braces, the Authentic Fingerboard Thickness (thinner) with gently beveled comfort edge, sleeker vintage-style heel, Golden Era Modern Belly Bridge with Ebony Bridge Pins and the Nut is placed on the angle of the headstock.

The new for 2025 D-18 provides historic Martin tone with the incredibly high-quality design of the Standard Series.  The all-solid design offers the tones of one of the most recorded guitars in history.  The Solid Spruce Top delivers a wide dynamic range that players of all styles will appreciate.  The Mahogany Back and Sides provide a balanced response that is full and rich.    

Players will immediately notice the quick responding top that allows for tones to be drawn out of the instrument with ease.  The dreadnought body offers a percussive bass response that will fill out your sound while still blending smoothly to the sparkling top-end trebles that are full of depth and no shrill.

Strummers will love the woodsy tones and pickers will love the ability to cut through a mix with power and clarity.  The D-18 is a mainstay in the most elaborate collections.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument has an impression next to the pickguard. (See Pics, light reflection used to show wear)
