The Martin D-18 was first introduced by C.F. Martin & Company in 1931. Designed as a less expensive version of the famous Martin D-28, the D-18 quickly became popular for its build quality and sound.
The D-18 is built with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, giving it a warm, balanced sound. It's also known for its aesthetic simplicity, with an elegant, minimalist look that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.
From the rootsiest country bluegrass to Kurt Cobain on MTVUnplugged, Doc Watson, Kris Kristofferson, Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia and Rich Robinson, there isn't a guitarist worth his salt who hasn't played a D-18 in his career.
As for the D-18D, it's nothing other than a Martin D-18 with an original amplification system that was produced for a very short time in the second half of the 1970s.
Here for sale is a beautiful Martin D-18D from 1975, the first year of production, with its amplification system substituted for a high-performance Headway that will delight guitarists with its playing comfort and sound both acoustic and amplified.
