The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Martin D-18 Standard Satin Mahogany Dreadnought. Built on the historic foundation of the legendary 14-fret dreadnought, this Standard Series instrument pairs Martin's classic tonewood combination with a smooth, non-reflective satin finish that lets the wood breathe and vibrate with incredible freedom.
Sanctuary Expert Note: "If you love the dry, woody clarity of an all-mahogany D-18 but prefer a neck that never feels sticky under stage lights, the D-18 Satin is an exceptional choice. The ultra-thin finish gives the guitar an immediate, open response while keeping a clean, low-glare aesthetic for video sessions and live performances."
