Martin Super D-18 Natural

The Martin Super D-18 takes the classic Style 18 dreadnought blueprint and expands it—literally and sonically. With 20% more internal air volume than a traditional Dreadnought, this model delivers thunderous bass response, increased projection, and an extended dynamic range while maintaining the iconic Martin silhouette.

A solid spruce top paired with genuine mahogany back and sides offers the familiar warmth, punch, and clarity players expect from a D-18, enhanced by the Super D’s larger acoustic footprint. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing ensures quick response and powerful articulation, while the satin-finished neck and ebony fingerboard keep the playing feel fast and comfortable.

• Solid spruce top with Golden Era scalloped X-bracing
• Genuine mahogany back and sides for warmth and punch
