A Martin Custom Shop Willcutt Exclusive 18 Style Dreadnought built with a large sound hole and premium Adirondack spruce over mahogany—designed for maximum power, projection, and clarity. This build leans into the sought-after characteristics of a famously modified vintage dreadnought, delivering a bold, open voice with quick response, strong fundamentals, and a dry, punchy low end that cuts effortlessly in a mix.
The Adirondack top provides exceptional headroom and dynamic range, while the forward-shifted Golden Era bracing enhances responsiveness and low-end bloom. Paired with mahogany back and sides, the result is a focused, articulate tone with excellent note separation—ideal for flatpicking and aggressive strumming.
The GE Modified Low Oval neck with High Performance Taper offers a smooth, fast feel, and the satin neck finish adds a comfortable, broken-in touch right out of the case. Vintage-inspired Style 18 appointments and the oversized sound hole give this guitar a distinct look and voice that stands apart from a traditional dreadnought.
Built for players who want power, presence, and a direct, no-nonsense acoustic voice, this Willcutt Exclusive delivers a refined take on a legendary tonal blueprint
