Crackle and pop, we’ve got plenty here. This 2017 D-18 from the Martin Custom Shop is practically new, but already loud, proud, and ready for action. Sinker Mahogany back and sides paired with an Adirondack Spruce top and Tortoise Style bindings, this D-18 has lots of dry crunch in the mids, and a quick decay keeps the voice crisp and notes from mumbling into each other; excellent for the flatpicker who needs a dry, defined tone. A satin neck makes for silky left hand work (the easy setup helps too), and the whole package comes wrapped up in a GWW hardshell case.

Sinker Mahogany is a unique feature on this guitar. Being submerged does something to wood, Stradivarius knew it and modern makers know it. Taking the resins out of the wood naturally over time, the water acts as a tone machine. This guitar with its Adirondack Spruce top definitely has energy and power. Perfect for solo play or accompaniment. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
