Overview:
This Martin Custom Shop Slope Shoulder Dreadnought is a nod to classic D-18 heritage, masterfully crafted with premium, vintage-inspired details and a striking Toasted Burst finish. Designed around a traditional slope-shoulder dreadnought body, it offers both the warmth and punch that players crave—balanced by the open, articulate voice of VTS Sitka spruce and genuine mahogany.
