Product description

Martin D-18 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar – 1935 Sunburst

The Martin D-18 is one of the most iconic acoustic guitars ever built. Trusted by generations of musicians for nearly a century, this legendary dreadnought delivers the bold projection, powerful bass, and articulate clarity that have defined countless recordings and performances.

Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the D-18 produces a beautifully balanced voice with crisp trebles, a focused midrange, and warm low-end punch. Its classic look and no-frills design remain true to the tradition that made it famous.

At Roxy Music, every guitar receives a professional setup before shipping so it arrives ready to play. We've been helping musicians find the right instruments since 1939, and with more than 2,800 five-star Reverb reviews, players trust us to get it right.

Legendary Dreadnought Tone

The Dreadnought body size has long been known for its strong projection and full-bodied sound. With a spruce top and mahogany body, the D-18 delivers clarity, punch, and balance that works equally well for flatpicking, strumming, and singer-songwriter styles.

  • Solid spruce top for dynamic response and articulation
  • Solid mahogany back and sides for warmth and punch
  • Dreadnought body for strong projection and full low end
  • Forward-shifted GE scalloped bracing for vintage-inspired tone

Updated Standard Series Design

The refreshed Standard Series introduces subtle improvements designed to enhance tone and playability while maintaining the classic D-18 character.

  • GE Sitka spruce top bracing inspired by Martin’s Modern Deluxe models
  • Refined neck profile for improved comfort
  • Thinner fingerboard for enhanced feel
  • Updated bridge and heel design

Effortless Playability

The Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper offers a comfortable feel whether you're playing rhythm or lead. Combined with the satin neck finish, the D-18 feels smooth and fast in the hand.

  • GE Modified Low Oval neck profile
  • High-Performance Taper
  • 25.4" scale length
  • Ebony fingerboard with classic abalone dot inlays

Timeless Martin Craftsmanship

From its ebony bridge and fingerboard to the beautiful 1935 Sunburst top, every detail reflects Martin’s long tradition of expert craftsmanship and understated elegance.

The result is a guitar that sounds incredible today and will continue to open up and improve for decades.
