Introducing: Your Dream Instrument from Martin
Every info for your decision
This replica of a 1937 D-18 from the Authentic series remains true to the original, with hide glue construction / acoustic and historically accurate details. The bottom and sides of this guitar are made of real mahogany, the top is made of Adirondack spruce, and it features an authentic bracing pattern from circa 1937. It has also been treated with the Vintage Tone system , which ages the wood to give the sound of an old guitar Martin to reproduce. Martin 's craftsmen are able to recreate the appealing visual aesthetic of a Vintage guitar and reproduce the special sound previously reserved for Vintage instruments. Now Martin has reintroduced a more precise body profile based on the dreadnought shapes from the early Golden Era of Martin's history. The result is a haptic, visual and acoustic experience that takes you back to the 1930s. And we are sure you will like it there!
About Martin
The company CF Martin & Co., or Martin Guitars for short, can look back on a long company tradition and some innovative inventions. This primarily includes the development of the dreadnought form and thus the western guitar as we know it today. The family business, with its history spanning over 175 years, has shaped the music world to this day. The innovations that Martin made standard in guitar construction include guitars with 14 frets outside the body and X-bracing. This allows the top to be more stable and max. weight capacity thanks to glued strips on the inside of the carcass ceiling. To this day , Martin guitars are famous for their high quality and of course their sound and are very popular among guitarists. You can find a large selection ready to play in our shop or in our branches. In our Martin premium western guitar section you will also find a selection of the highest quality western guitar models from all Martin series.
The name of the US company Martin Guitars, actually CF Martin & Co., Inc., has stood for the highest quality and innovations in the construction of stringed instruments since 1833. When everyone thinks of Martin , everyone immediately thinks of the western guitar, as the company founder and German emigrant Christian Friedrich Martin helped the instruments take on the form that we still know and appreciate today. The company's inventions include special bracing (X-bracing), the neck transition at the 14th fret and popular body shapes such as the dreadnought guitar.
In addition to the classics such as the D, OM, J, 000 models, our range also includes custom shop models - as well as signature models from renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, Eric Clapton or John Mayer. We also have the popular Martin Backpacker Steel and the Little Martin in our range.
Of course, we also carry a wide range of accessories such as the extremely popular strings from Martin. Our staff looks forward to your visit and will be happy to provide you with detailed advice.
