{"product_id":"d-18-molly-tuttle","title":"Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle","description":"\u003cp\u003eMolly Tuttle is no stranger to Telluride—we've been fortunate to see her light up the stage at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Her fearless, precise flatpicking is electrifying, but when she takes the stage, she also demonstrates her depth and range as a songwriter, singer, and bandleader. With that in mind, we are excited that Martin is debuting a brand new signature model: the D-18 Molly Tuttle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired by Molly’s own 1943 D-18, this signature Martin reflects the balance of power, clarity, and responsiveness that made the dreadnought a benchmark for bluegrass and flatpicking players. The D-18 Molly Tuttle is a respectful nod to the past, shaped by the needs of a contemporary, genre-defining musician. At its core is a solid spruce top paired with solid Mahogany back and sides. Just like Molly's treasured '43, the top is supported by rear-shifted scalloped bracing for added headroom and projection. The manageable 1-11\/16\" nut width and Authentic 1941 neck profile will feel just right to players who favor a fast neck that isn't chunky, but still gives you something to hang on to. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the Ebony fingerboard, the D-18 Molly Tuttle sports custom Moon Phase inlays, while a silver Martin headstock logo, oval tuner buttons, and a warm vintage sunburst top reinforce its mid-century inspiration. None of these elements feel ornamental—they’re subtle, cohesive, and well integrated into the overall design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs for sound, the D-18 Molly Tuttle delivers the dry, punchy low end and focused midrange the model is known for. With excellent note separation and balance across the strings, it cuts for solos and single-note melodies, but it still captures enough body and power to lead a ripping band like Golden Highway. This guitar ships in a vintage-style light blue molded hardshell case reminiscent of Martin cases from the 1970s, rounding out a signature instrument that feels purposeful, historically grounded, and ready for serious playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q0QLngDalQ8?si=GJ5EQoR6llLFOLOI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Size:  14-Fret Dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing Pattern: Rearward Shifted X Brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace Shape: GE-Scalloped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: Genuine Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Authentic 1941\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1-11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: Moon Phase Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and Side Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Top: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Color: Vintage Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Neck: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Compensated Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Nickel Open Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Faux Tortoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Molded Hardshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"3017768","offer_id":53838587461951,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G63285965","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/2025MartinD-18MollyTuttle_3017768_-Detail05_5134ec99-8640-40c4-8fed-5464a2263355.jpg?v=1782094402","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/d-18-molly-tuttle","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
