Built for Tone Shop Guitars, this instrument follows authentic 1937-style construction with hide glue assembly, a dovetail neck joint, and period-correct voicing, delivering the dry power, immediacy, and headroom that define the most revered vintage D-18s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA premium-grade Adirondack spruce top treated with Martin’s VTS process is paired with hand-selected sinker mahogany back and sides, producing a fundamental-forward voice with explosive dynamics, strong note separation, and a broken-in warmth straight out of the case.

This addition to the Authentic series is a recreation of the original 1937 model offered with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides. Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top\/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-28 Authentic
