For discerning players who want the tone, feel, and aesthetic of a pre-war Martin without waiting 80 years, the Martin Authentic 1937 Aged D-18 delivers a true vintage experience. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this model is crafted to the exact specifications of its 1937 predecessor, using hide glue construction, genuine mahogany back and sides, and an Adirondack spruce top aged with Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS) for the open, resonant sound of a well-loved Golden Era guitar. The Authentic 1937 forward-shifted scalloped bracing adds warmth and dynamic response, while the carefully aged finish and hardware replicate decades of natural play wear. From its Authentic-style neck barrel and heel to its old-style 18 appointments, this instrument is as historically accurate as it is inspiring to play. Ideal for bluegrass flatpickers, traditional folk players, and vintage Martin enthusiasts, it comes in excellent used condition and includes a hardshell case for protection and transport.
