The Icon. Refined for 2025.
Few acoustic guitars carry the legacy of the D-18. For 2025, Martin’s refreshed Standard Series elevates this legendary mahogany dreadnought with thoughtful Golden Era-inspired upgrades that enhance tone, feel, and visual appeal.
At the heart of the update is Golden Era Sitka spruce top bracing, inspired by the Modern Deluxe Series. The result is increased responsiveness, enhanced sustain, and a more open, vintage-style character with impressive headroom.
Additional refinements include:
•Reimagined neck profile for improved comfort
•Thinner fingerboard for a more natural feel
•Subtle bridge and heel updates for vintage-inspired aesthetics
•GE Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper
•25.4” scale length for power and projection
⸻
Classic Mahogany Dreadnought Tone
Handcrafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the D-18 delivers the unmistakable sound that has defined recordings and stages for generations.
Expect:
•Bright, clear trebles
•A strong, punchy midrange
•Tight, focused low end
•Excellent note separation and articulation
The dreadnought body provides powerful projection and dynamic range, while remaining balanced and controlled. This example is especially resonant and lively—extremely fun to play, with clarity and responsiveness that reward both a light touch and aggressive strumming.
⸻
Understated, Timeless Style
The D-18 remains an icon of no-frills elegance:
•Ebony fingerboard and bridge
•Ebony bridge pins
•Abalone dot inlays
•Satin-finished neck for smooth playability
•Natural gloss top with classic Style 18 appointments
Everything about this instrument reflects purpose, heritage, and craftsmanship.

Whether you’re a flatpicker, singer-songwriter, studio player, or weekend performer, the 2025 D-18 offers the perfect blend of vintage character and modern precision—ready to inspire for decades to come.
