<li id="Description"><strong>Description:</strong> We are incredibly excited to showcase this exceptional Martin Custom Shop D-18. It is a truly unique build that pairs classic dreadnought power with a sloped shoulder body and rare and beautiful choice of tonewood, resulting in a guitar that stands out in both looks and sound. While a standard D-18 features mahogany back and sides, the Martin Custom Shop upgraded this model to premium mahogany not only on the back and side but also the top. The look is what really stands out on this guitar with the Old Dog finish. The result is a stunning unique instrument with a voice all its own. This gives this guitar the warm, woody midrange of mahogany.  The playability is smooth and effortlessly modern. Martin selected a premium Genuine Mahogany neck and carved it into a comfortable Modified Low Oval shape. Combined with a premium Black Ebony fingerboard and a bone nut, it provides a fast, inviting feel across the entire fretboard that players of all styles will immediately appreciate. The hardware is equally top-tier, featuring Grover nickel vintage-button tuners that offer rock-solid stability while maintaining an elegant, old-school aesthetic. True to the finest Custom Shop traditions, this guitar is kept completely pure with no factory electronics. However, if you do need to plug in, just let us know—we can professionally install whatever pickup and preamp system you'd like right here at the shop to get it stage-ready. Contact us for price and availability. This incredible guitar comes complete with a premium Martin hardshell case. It’s a rare find that we are thrilled to host, so stop by the shop, give it a strum, and experience this unique twist on a classic for yourself!</li>
