Martin Custom D-18 Flamed Mahogany Dreadnought

This exquisite custom dreadnought showcases premium flamed mahogany back and sides paired with a solid spruce top featuring an elegant aging toner finish. Built to Mark's Guitar Exchange specifications, it delivers the classic D-18's powerful projection enhanced by forward-shifted, scalloped X-bracing for exceptional tonal balance.

The guitar features a comfortable modified V mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with Old Style 18 abalone inlays, offering superb playability. Premium appointments include black ebony binding, faux tortoise pickguard, and Ratio™ tuning machines with skeleton butterbean knobs for precise tuning stability.

With its golden era-inspired construction and striking flamed mahogany figuring, this instrument blends vintage Martin tone with modern craftsmanship. The 25.4" scale length provides excellent string tension and articulation, making it equally suited for strumming and fingerstyle playing.
