This Martin D-18 Sunburst guitar with a 1935 burst finish upgrade, is a workhorse of a guitar, with a big sound capable of doing just about everything. This is the original 14-fret dreadnought that has inspired countless models and guitar builders throughout the years with its exceptional presence, sound and build quality. The vintage forward-shifted X-bracing adds even more projection and the 1 3/4" nut width makes it an incredibly comfortable player.

The neck itself has a slim 'Performing Artist' taper, too, and a satin finish, making this classic guitar even more of a joy to play. The Sitka Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides give this D-18 beautiful, classic tone and volume, and excellent clarity in both the highs and lows. The 1935-style Sunburst, set off so well by the tortoise style pickguard, is a gorgeous reminder of the company's early years that set the standard. This Martin D-18 Sunburst acoustic guitar comes with a hard case and full set up to your specs too.
