OVERVIEW OF THE MARTIN & CO. D-18 SATIN

Martin Dreadnoughts, such as the D-18, are known for their loud, projective tone and powerful bass. This model is built to the same specifications as the standard D-18, but now Martin offers this long-standing staple with a satin top, back, and sides. The top includes an aged toner and is also available in an amberburst finish. The D-18 Satin is crafted with mahogany back and sides, allowing you to enjoy high volume and achieve brilliant highs and punchy mid-tones. The scalloped bracing in this model contributes to the volume and a fuller sound compared to non-scalloped bracing. If you are looking for a satin Standard Series guitar that stands out from the crowd, this D-18 Satin is for you.
