Martin D-18 Satin

The Martin D-18 acoustic guitar is a true embodiment of the timeless sound and design of dreadnought guitars that has found its way across musical genres and has shaped the shape of modern popular music for decades. The instrument is part of the Standard Series, bringing together superbly crafted models in classic Martin designs, and comes in a carrying case, making it instantly ready to be loaded into your car/van for long or short journeys in pursuit of your musical dreams.

The combination of a solid spruce soundboard with an equally solid back and sides made of genuine mahogany (the wood of the Swietenia family of trees - Honduran, American/Cuban or Mexican mahogany) gives the guitar a rich, clear tone with a balanced balance of tonal clarity and warmth. The guitar's good acoustic properties are accentuated by the lowered X-ribs (Scalloped Forward-Shifted X-Brace) of the soundboard. The Guitar,D18 Satin w/cs model is distinguished by its satin finish body (Aging Toner).

The mahogany neck, which is attached to the body at the fourteenth fret as standard, is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by pearl (Abalone) position markers. Precise tuning and good sustain are guaranteed by the fit of the strings through the compensated saddle and the bone zero fret in the nickel open mechanism and ebony headstock. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by a rosette composed of black and white rings and a pickguard made of imitation tortoiseshell, which also protects the guitar's lacquer from scratches.

The American Martin company, founded in 1833, is deservedly one of the biggest and most respected names in the field of stringed instruments. For decades, it has been one of the leading innovators in guitar design and manufacturing technology. However, to use only the past tense would be a great mistake; instruments with the Martin logo are still today among the guarantees of the highest quality in craftsmanship and sound. In addition, their current products use "eco-friendly" components made from renewable resources and composite materials.
