This special edition D-18 acoustic guitar is Martin's
loving recreation of the original 1937 guitar, now a highly sought-after
collector's item. Crafted with mahogany back and sides, a solid
Adirondack top with the X-brace and scalloped braces of the period, hide
glue, vintage toner on top, ebony bridge with long saddle (2-5/16"
string spacing), and a tortoise pickguard. The neck is also formed
exactly as the original and reinforced with a traditional non-adjustable
T-bar.
Ebony fretboard (1-3/4" nut, 25.4" scale), small abalone
position dots, fossil ivory nut and saddle, ebony bridge pins, 30's
style hardshell case. The features and details add up to a true
masterpiece of the luthier's art, with all the storied sound quality
that graced the original pre-war guitar.
