The D-18 Modern Deluxe is a new release from Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you need to see, feel and hear for yourself. Vintage accessories include a Vintage Tone System (VTS) Sitka spruce top, dovetail joint, and natural protein neck that gives it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. So far, our production line is unlike anything else in the world: East Indian rosewood binding, elegant gold frets, gold open-gear keys, and a unique 1930s-style pearl-inlaid logo on the head. State-of-the-art features include a titanium adjustment post, red-dot Liquidmetal® bridge pins, and a carbon fiber composite bridge plate that increases volume without adding weight. And we've included a new neck shape that's slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort at the top and bottom of the fingerboard. This guitar is anything but standard.
