More of a Good Thing: The Martin Super D-18

Martin just answered a question players have been asking for decades: what if a D-18 was... bigger? The new Super D-18 takes the legendary mahogany dreadnought platform and expands on it, literally. With 20% more internal air volume than its classic counterpart, this guitar is an absolute cannon, delivering thunderous low-end and a dynamic range that has to be played to be believed.

The core of its voice is pure Style 18, warm, woody, and articulate, but with an authority and projection that's all its own. This isn't just a loud guitar; it's a responsive instrument that captures every nuance of your playing style, from a gentle fingerstyle passage to a full-force flatpicked strum. It's the D-18 you know and love, just with a whole lot more to give.

Supersized Tone, Classic Feel

The heart of the Super D-18 is its tonewood combination: a solid Spruce top on genuine Mahogany back and sides. This classic pairing is known for its fundamental-rich voice and clear, direct punch. Martin enhances this with forward-shifted, scalloped Golden Era-style bracing, making the top incredibly responsive. The result is a guitar that blooms with harmonic complexity and sustains for days, offering a truly inspiring playing experience.

Unmistakably Martin

Despite its larger body, the Super D-18 feels surprisingly comfortable. The GE Modified Low Oval neck with its High-Performance Taper is a joy to play, offering a modern feel that's fast and familiar. Classic appointments like the Old Style 18 rosette, faux tortoise pickguard, and nickel open-gear tuners maintain that timeless Martin aesthetic. It’s a bold evolution of an icon, built for the player who demands to be heard.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
