Martin Custom Shop
Handcrafted in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, instruments from the Martin Custom Shop represent some of the finest acoustic guitars to come out of the factory since founder Christian Frederick Martin moved his family business from New York City in 1836. One of the best parts about our longtime partnership with the Martin Guitars Custom Shop is that CME can order almost any design we or our customers can dream up! If this is your dream guitar, call or chat us to learn how CME can make it yours today.
D-18 1937
1937 was an excellent year for guitars with a perfect storm of craftsmanship, innovation, and materials. 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 Martins history. Martins VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM (VTS) is employed to age the top and braces, which captures the tone from the 1930s era. Martins craftspeople can recreate the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar and reproduce the particular tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.
