Martin D18 Authentic 1937 (with VTS)

Like new Martin D18 Authentic 1937 (with VTS). Downsizing and would love to see this be someone elses new favorite guitar. Comes with the very nice original Authentic Martin case. This is a great deal because these Martins typically sell from $6,500 to $7,400 (see attached Sweetwater ad). The D-18 Authentic 1937 is built to the same specifications as those iconic guitars of 1937, using hide glue construction and historically accurate detailing throughout. It features genuine mahogany back and sides paired with an Adirondack spruce top, and an Authentic 1937 forward-shifted scalloped bracing pattern for a dry, punchy tone with remarkable clarity. The body profile is modeled after Dreadnoughts from the early Golden Era, offering enhanced historical accuracy. Other period-correct features include an Authentic-style neck barrel and heel, as well as traditional 18-style appointments. Martin’s Vintage Tone System® (VTS) is used to thermally age both the top and braces, capturing the rich, open sound of a well-preserved pre-war instrument. Built by hand with a deep respect for tradition, the D-18 Authentic 1937 delivers the tone, feel, and aesthetic of a vintage classic—without the decades-long wait.
