The D-18 Modern Deluxe reimagines a Martin icon with cutting-edge craftsmanship. A spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top and Golden Era–style Adirondack spruce X-bracing recreate the power and balance of a nearly century-old Martin. Natural protein glue and a lightweight carbon-fiber bridge plate add resonance and sustain, while exclusive Liquidmetal® bridge pins enhance projection by up to 3 decibels. EVO gold frets and a slightly asymmetrical neck ensure smooth, precise play, and East Indian rosewood binding around the body, Waverly gold open-gear tuners, and a 1933-style pearl logo lend understated elegance. The iconic Dreadnought body shape offers bold lows, articulate highs, and exceptional headroom—a faithful tribute to the past with a distinctly modern edge and refined sonic authority.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument has scratching and scuffs throughout. (See pics, light reflections used to show wear)
