It’s hard to imagine a finer guitar. This is no ordinary D-18—it’s a rare 1937-style model crafted from premium Sinker Mahogany and topped with exceptional Adirondack Spruce. Built in a very limited run and available only through Martin Custom Shop Expert Dealers, it delivers a bold, beautiful tone and striking aesthetics. A true masterpiece—and your next family heirloom.
This limited-edition Custom Shop D-18 channels the bold power of a 1937-style Dreadnought, pairing rich, resonant sinker mahogany with a lively Adirondack spruce top. Featuring Authentic 1937 bracing, a hide glue dovetail neck joint, and an adjustable truss rod, it’s built for exceptional tone and enduring playability. The vintage gloss finish enhances its timeless character, while the sound continues to mature beautifully with age. With only 25 made, this vintage-inspired masterpiece offers unmatched clarity, depth, and personality.
