Martin Guitars perfected a unique way of torrefying the top woods and braces of their guitars to achieve the sound of an aged and played-in instrument. The Vintage Tone System (VTS) lets Martin age the woods to a specific age/time period without the typical change in color of the wood from the torrefaction process. Martin VTS guitars not only look and play like lovingly cared-for vintage guitars, they also have that sought-after sound.The choice of session guitarists for decades When it comes to recording flatpicked acoustic guitars, professional recording engineers tend to prefer instruments with mahogany backs and sides for tracking in thick arrangements. And the Martin D-18 — the granddaddy of mahogany dreadnoughts — has the uncanny ability to sit pretty in any mix, with a minimum of processing. Point your favorite small-diaphragm condenser mic at the 12th fret, and you’ve got a gorgeous-sounding acoustic guitar sound that practically mixes itself. It also sounds rich and full-bodied on its own. Whether solo or tracked, the Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe will do you proud.The CF Martin legacy What hasn’t been said about the CF Martin company? Martin — a name virtually synonymous with the acoustic guitar — took root in the United States in 1833 with a little shop in lower Manhattan. Five years later, Christian Frederick Martin moved his business and family to the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, where Martin’s been located ever since. From the dreadnought body shape to the 14-fret neck, Martin innovations parallelled (and indeed, drove) the development of the acoustic guitar itself. When you play any Martin guitar, you’re holding a piece of music history. When you play a Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe, you’ve got the real deal in your hands.Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe Acoustic Guitar Features: Spruce VTS top, mahogany back and sides East Indian rosewood binding Natural protein glue construction Dovetail neck joint Asymmetrical neck shape for maximum comfort Liquidmetal bridge pins with red dots Carbon fiber bridge plate Steel truss rod SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Dreadnought Back & Sides Wood Mahogany Top Wood Spruce Finish Gloss Color Natural Body Bracing Forward Shifted X-bracing Binding East Indian Rosewood Neck Wood Mahogany Neck Shape Vintage Deluxe Radius 16" Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Abalone Old-style 18 Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25.4" Nut Width 1.75" Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Bone Bridge Material Ebony Tuning Machines Gold Open Gear Strings Lifespan 2.0 92/8 Phosphor Bronse, .013-.056 Case Included Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
