The Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 VTS Aged captures one of the most celebrated moments in acoustic guitar history with remarkable accuracy and attention to detail. Based on the legendary 1937 D-18, this model is built using period-correct materials and techniques, delivering the look, feel, and tone of a true Golden Era instrument.
An Adirondack spruce top treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System® (VTS) pairs with genuine mahogany back and sides for a powerful, dry, and articulate voice with exceptional clarity and headroom. Forward-shifted, scalloped bracing and hide glue construction enhance resonance and responsiveness, while the aged finish gives it the visual character and broken-in feel of a guitar that’s been played for decades. From its Authentic 1937 neck profile to its vintage-inspired appointments, this instrument is a faithful recreation of a pre-war icon.
