Martin Guitars D-18 Custom Shop Sinker Mahogany at a glance

The D-18 Custom Shop Sinker Mahogany is the latest custom model from C. F. Martin and once again showcases the series' signature premium wood selection combined with impressive craftsmanship. This US-made quality product is a true all-rounder and is supplied including case for effortless transport.

Classic tonewoods with a fancy look

The unique selling point of the D-18 Custom Shop is undoubtedly the solid body made of Sinker Mahogany, which gets its unusual grain from several years in the riverbed where the mahogany logs sank after floating. The wood species produces a midrange-rich sound with pronounced highs, which get additional support from the solid top made of Sitka spruce.

Construction and bracing

In addition to the all-solid construction, the large dreadnought body and Forward-Shifted-Scalloped-X bracing also provide an assertive sound. With this innovative top bracing, the intersection of the slats is a few mm closer to the sound hole, whereupon an extensive free top area behind the bracing is created. This results in improved vibration behaviour, which gives the sound additional volume and benefits an expressive stage presence.

Playability

The guitar neck made of Selected Hardwood with the in-house Modified Low Oval Profile is extremely comfortable in the hand and, thanks to its nut width of 44.5 mm, is made for fingerpicking and powerful strumming. Thanks to the velvety-smooth texture of the ebony fingerboard, the picking hand glides over all 20 frets as if by itself. Furthermore, the compensated bone bridge inlay ensures a flat string action, which in combination with the shortened 635 mm scale length requires less effort when picking.
