This guitar is simply put a cannon. It rings out and sustains for days with beautiful bellowing low ends and crystal clear highs. Each string is in its own tonal zip code and allows for crystal clear chord definition and sheer power and projection on leads. This one in particular has a phenomenal wide, even grain Adirondack spruce top; this is the absolute cream of the crop as far as top selection goes. Add in Martin's VTS process and the perfectly executed forward shifted X bracing and you can *almost* hear this guitar vibrating even when it's in the case. This is a lifetime guitar and a true heirloom piece. Whenever you're ready, buy with confidence!

This Authentic Series replication of a 1937 D-18 stays true to the original with hide glue construction and historically accurate detailing. This guitar features genuine mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top, and it includes an Authentic circa 1937 bracing pattern. It includes period-correct \"18\" Authentic-style appointments and an Authentic neck barrel and heel, and new this year, a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin’s history. Martin’s VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) is employed to age the top and braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era. Martin’s craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eBody Size:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eAuthentic D-14 Fret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eFinish Top:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eVintage Gloss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eDovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue Construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eBack and Side Finish:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eVintage Gloss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eBracing Pattern:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eForward Shifted X Brace\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e25.4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eBrace Shape:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eScalloped\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003e1 3\/4''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eTop Material:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eAdirondack Spruce with VTS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eAuthentic 1937\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eBack Material:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eGenuine Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eNeck Taper:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eStandard Taper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eSide Material:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eGenuine Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label font-weight-bold\"\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"value\"\u003eNone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838420377919,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G32601101","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/Martin_D18_Authentic-42__95739.1739307562.1280.1280.jpg?v=1782094224","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/martin-d-18-authentic-1937-vts-acoustic-guitar","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
