Martin Custom Shop D-18 w/Case

Serial: 3032021

The Martin Custom Shop D-18 delivers classic dreadnought power with premium tonewoods and vintage-inspired construction straight from the Martin Custom Shop. Built with a solid Adirondack spruce top and genuine mahogany back and sides, this model offers strong projection, clear articulation, and the focused punch that has made the D-18 a benchmark for flatpickers, strummers, and singer-songwriters alike.

Hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped forward-shifted bracing and a traditional dovetail neck joint give this guitar a lively, responsive feel with excellent headroom and dynamic range. Subtle custom details like faux tortoise binding and Old Style 18 appointments round out a timeless design that brings Custom Shop quality to a ready-to-play instrument without the need for a full custom order.
