The D-18 Modern Deluxe is a new version of Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you need to see, feel and hear for yourself. Vintage features include a Sitka Spruce Vintage Tone System (VTS) top, dovetail neck joint and natural protein glue construction that give it the rich, aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unlike anything in our production line to date with East Indian rosewood binding, elegant gold frets, gold open gear tuners and a 1930's style script logo inlaid with pearls on the headstock. Some state-of-the-art features include a titanium reinforcement rod, Liquidmetal® bridge pins with red dots and a carbon fiber composite bridge plate that increases volume without adding weight. And we included a new, slightly asymmetrical neck shape for maximum hand comfort up and down the neck. This guitar is anything but standard.
