The Nantel Verdict

Booming dreadnought power. This guitar delivers the big, bold acoustic tone that defines the dreadnought tradition. Deep lows, cutting midrange, and sustained highs make it perfect for fingerstyle and strumming alike. A workhorse that sounds better every year it's played.

Our Pro Tip

Light gauge strings let Martin's legendary bracing shine. Play daily - the top opens up and the guitar improves with age.

The Takeaway

Martin has been setting the standard for acoustic guitars since 1833, and this instrument carries that legacy in every note. The tone is warm, balanced, and cuts through any ensemble with effortless authority. It's the kind of guitar that makes you want to write songs.

Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe D18MD The D-18 Modern Deluxe is a new take on Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you have to see, feel, and hear for yourself. The vintage appointments include a Sitka spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction that give it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unlike anything in our production line to date with East Indian rosewood binding, stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a unique 1930s style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Some ultra-modern features include Liquidmetal® bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume. And we’ve included a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard. This guitar is anything but standard.
