The Martin D-18 has been a cornerstone of acoustic music for nearly a century, and with this refreshed satin-finished model in a stunning 1935 Sunburst, it’s better than ever. Classic D-18 mahogany warmth meets modern enhancements, making this dreadnought as inspiring to play as it is beautiful to look at.
With a solid Sitka spruce top and forward-shifted X-bracing, this D-18 delivers a powerful, dynamic response—perfect for bluegrass flatpickers, singer-songwriters, and anyone who wants rich, resonant tone. The satin finish gives it a vintage feel while allowing the wood to breathe, and the GE Modified Low Oval neck profile provides an ultra-comfortable playing experience for all styles. Whether you’re picking around the campfire or tracking in the studio, the D-18 Satin brings timeless Martin craftsmanship with a fresh, player-focused touch.
