Martin D-18 StreetLegend

The Standard Series line of American Martin guitars offers all-massive acoustic guitars made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, that carry the pure Martin DNA and nearly two centuries of the brand's legacy. You'll recognize the instruments in this series by their solid bodies made from premium materials such as genuine mahogany, and details such as the traditional Dovetail Neck Joint, reduced X ribbing, Antique White binding and open tuners.

The combination of a spruce soundboard with a back and sides made from genuine mahogany (Swietenia woods - Honduran, American/Cuban or Mexican mahogany) gives the Dreadnought Martin D-18 StreetLegend a rich, clear tone with a balanced balance of tonal clarity and warmth. A special feature of the StreetLegend model is the satin finish of the body with visible elements of faux patina, giving the instrument the look and feel of guitars played for years. The guitar's good acoustic properties are accentuated by the lowered X-ribs (Scalloped Forward-Shifted X-Brace) of the soundboard.

The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by pearl position dots. 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 fingerboard. 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 guitar comes in a carrying case, making it instantly ready to be loaded into your car/van for long or short trips to pursue your musical dreams.

The American Martin company, founded in 1833, is quite deservedly one of the biggest and most respected names in 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.
