Martin D-18 Authentic 1937

All of our Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 guitars are brand new, factory-fresh, come with a Martin hardshell case and Martin Lifetime Warranty.

1937 was an excellent year for guitars with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation & materials. This Authentic Series replication of a 1937 D-18 stays true to the original with hide glue construction & historically accurate setailing. This guitar features genuine mahogany back & sides & an Adirondack spruce top & it includes an Authentic circa 1937 bracing pattern. It includes period-correct "18" Authentic-style appointments & an Authentic neck barrel & heel & 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 & braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era. Martin's craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar & reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments. Also available AGED.

Maury's Music thoroughly inspects every guitar before it ships (learn more).  We can even set it up to your specs upon request!  Simply choose between "Factory Setup" or "Custom Setup" when placing your order.  Click here for more details.

Please note:  Adding a guitar pickup or strap button to this model will disqualify it from our return policy and therefore it cannot be returned after these uprades are added. Upgrade prices below include installation; these fees are non-refundable. Also, we cannot ship Walrus Ivory products to California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington or Washington D.C. due to legislation in those states.
