About this listing
Martin D-18 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar NaturalThe Martin D-18, an iconic instrument from Martin's Standard Series, delivers the legendary dreadnought tone that defined acoustic music. Handcrafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the D-18 produces a robust, well-balanced tone with precise trebles and moderate bass. The High Performance neck offers enhanced playability, while the dreadnought body shape provides impressive volume and projection. Whether you play rock, country, bluegrass or folk, the D-18 Standard is a versatile workhorse that will inspire you to create music. The D-18 Standard lets you experience the heritage and prestige of Martin Guitars.Solid Tonewoods Provide a Lifetime of ToneThe D-18 Standard is built with premium tonewoods, including a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. These woods are revered for their tonal qualities and ability to age gracefully. Over time, the spruce top will mellow into a rich, complex tone, while the mahogany adds warmth and resonance. Martin uses sustainable practices to source their tonewoods, so you can feel good about the materials in your D-18 Standard.High Performance Neck Enhances PlayabilityMartin designed the High Performance Neck to improve feel and access across the fretboard. It has a modified low oval profile that's comfortable for most playing styles. The fingerboard has a 16" radius, making it easy to bend strings and play complex chords. Dot inlays provide reference points without distracting from the instrument's classic look. Whether you have small or large hands, the High Performance Neck helps you play with precision and speed.Iconic Dreadnought Shape Provides Powerful ProjectionThe dreadnought body shape produces a bold, resonant tone that projects well in live and studio settings. It has a wide waist and deep body, creating an expansive soundboard that generates volume and rich overtones. When played vigorously, the dreadnought shape allows notes to ring out with a full, rounded tone that fills the room. For nearly a century, the Martin dreadnought has defined the acoustic guitar sound and influenced countless musicians.Premium Appointments and ComponentsThe D-18 Standard includes premium appointments you expect from a Martin Guitar. It has an elegant Style 18 rosette, bone nut and saddle, polished nickel tuners, and a tortoise pickguard. Martin's proprietary neck mortise and tenon joint ensures stability between the neck and body. Each component is carefully selected and installed by Martin's skilled craftsmen in Nazareth, PA using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.FeaturesPowerful dreadnought designGreat-sounding combination of solid spruce top and mahogany back and sidesModified Low Oval Neck profile with High Performance TaperSmooth black ebony fingerboardBone nut and compensated saddle for improved sustain and intonationIncludes caseSpecsModel: D-18 StandardConstruction: Mahogany Blocks/Dovetail Neck JointBody Size: D-14 FretTop: Solid spruceRosette: Style 18Top Bracing Pattern: Standard ''X'' Scalloped, Forward ShiftedTop Braces: Solid Spruce 5/16''Back Material: Solid Genuine MahoganyBack Purfling: Style 18Side Material: Solid Genuine MahoganyEndpiece: Delmar Tortoise ColorEndpiece Inlay: noneBinding: Tortoise ColorTop Inlay Style: Multiple Black/White BoltaronSide Inlay: noneBack Inlay: noneNeck Material: Select HardwoodNeck Shape: Modified Low Oval Profile with Performing Artist TaperNut Material: BoneHeadstock: Solid/Square TaperHeadplate: Solid East Indian Rosewood/Raised Gold FoilHeelcap: Tortoise ColorFingerboard Material: Solid Black EbonyScale Length: 25.4''Number of Frets Clear: 14Number of Frets Total: 20Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1-3/4''Fingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2-1/8''Fingerboard Position Inlays: Old Style 18Fingerboard Binding: noneFinish Back & Sides: Polished GlossFinish Top: Polished Gloss with Aging TonerFinish Neck: SatinBridge Material: Solid Black EbonyBridge Style: 1930s Style Belly with Drop-In SaddleBridge String Spacing: 2-3/16''Saddle: 16'' Radius/Compensated/BoneTuning Machines: Nickel Open-Geared with Butterbean KnobsRecommended Strings: Martin Studio Performance Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Medium Gauge (MSP7200)Bridge & End Pins: BlackPickguard: Delmar Tortoise ColorCase: 445 HardshellInterior Label: noneElectronics: NoWarrantyOne year warranty on Martin Backpackers, Little Martins and Ukuleles.
