This Authentic Series replication of a 1937 D-18 stays true to the original with hide glue construction and historically accurate detailing. This guitar features genuine mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top, and it includes an Authentic circa 1937 bracing pattern. It includes period-correct \"18\" Authentic-style appointments and an Authentic neck barrel and heel, and new this year, a more accurate body profile based on dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin’s history. Martin’s VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) is employed to age the top and braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era. Martin’s craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect Preferred Hand: Right\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Size: Authentic D-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003eFinish Top: Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue Construction\u003cbr\u003eBack and Side Finish: Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBracing Pattern: Forward Shifted X Brace\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003cbr\u003eBrace Shape: Scalloped\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at Nut: 1 3\/4''\u003cbr\u003eTop Material: Adirondack Spruce with VTS\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape: Authentic 1937\u003cbr\u003eBack Material: Genuine Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Taper: Standard Taper\u003cbr\u003eSide Material: Genuine Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eElectronics: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop\u003cbr\u003eTop Color: Clear\u003cbr\u003eBridge Style: Authentic Belly - Glue in Long Saddle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Brown Tortoise Pattern\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 2 1\/4''\u003cbr\u003eTop Inlay Material: Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eBridge Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTop Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Material: Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Tortoise Pattern\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pin Dots: None\u003cbr\u003ePickguard Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: Bone\u003cbr\u003eRosette: Old Style 18 Multi-Stripe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle Radius: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eBrace Material: Adirondack Spruce with VTS\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides Color: Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBrace Size: 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003eBack Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eBack Purfling\/Strip: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eBack Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eHeelcap: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eSide Detail: None\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece: Brown Tortoise Pattern\u003cbr\u003eSide Inlay Material: None\u003cbr\u003eEndpiece Inlay: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Genuine Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFinish Neck: Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1\/4''\u003cbr\u003eNeck Color: Dark Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Style: Old Style 18\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets Total: 20\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joins Body At: 14th Fret\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Binding Material: None\u003cbr\u003eSide Dots: Grained Ivoroid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock\u003cbr\u003eHeadstock Shape: Solid with 1937 Taper\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Waverly Nickel Open Back\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Material: Madagascar Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eKnob: Butterbean\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Logo Style: Script Old Style Overlay\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003eHeadplate Binding Material: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMisc\u003cbr\u003eCase: Ply Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eLabel: None\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44599696359661,"sku":"10D18AUTHENTIC1937VTS","price":10579.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/files\/2da6413f2c485846a268b9d9cdac8bbf.png?v=1704228250","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/martin-d-18-authentic-1937-spruce-mahogany-acoustic-guitar-w-case","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
