1937 was an excellent year for guitars with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation, and materials. This Authentic Series replication of a 1937 D-18 stays true to the original with hide glue construction and historically accurate detailing. This guitar features genuine mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top, and it includes an Authentic circa 1937 bracing pattern. It includes period-correct "18" Authentic-style appointments and an Authentic neck barrel and heel, and new this year, a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin’s history. Martin’s VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) is employed to age the top and braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era. Martin’s craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.

The Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 VTS at a glance

With this replica of a historic dreadnought from the 1930s, the U.S. manufacturer Martin & Co impressively proves that it is possible to reproduce both the visual and the tonal attributes of an acoustic guitar that has been played for decades. In addition to the authentic materials of the era, the instrument comes with a very thin Vintage Gloss finish and is also subjected to the sophisticated Vintage Tone System (VTS) treatment. Thanks to the Authetic 1937 profile neck, the guitar feels very true to the original, giving the impression that it is undoubtedly the original from 1937. The headstock is equipped with open tuners, which guarantee a clean tuning of the 6 steel strings and tastefully underline the vintage charm of the guitar with their small butterbean buttons. The D-18 Authentic is rounded off by filigree inlays of abalone, tortoise bindingsand a large tortoise pickguard. The scope of delivery includes a ply hardshell case.
