First introduced in the 1930s, the D-18 became a cornerstone of bluegrass, folk, and Americana, evolving through the decades while remaining a benchmark for flatpickers and singer-songwriters alike. The Molly Tuttle Signature D-18 draws direct inspiration from Molly’s own cherished 1943 example, capturing the spirit of Martin’s golden-era craftsmanship while incorporating artist-driven refinements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eMolly Tuttle is widely recognized as one of the most influential acoustic guitarists of her generation, known for redefining flatpicking technique while seamlessly blending bluegrass tradition with modern songwriting and genre-crossing creativity. A Grammy-winning artist and groundbreaking player, Molly’s touch demands an instrument that delivers speed, balance, and articulation without sacrificing depth. This signature model reflects her vision with a slim 1-11\/16\" nut width favored by bluegrass players, an authentic 1940s-style neck carve, and rear-shifted scalloped bracing that enhances responsiveness and headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTonally, the D-18 Molly Tuttle Signature delivers a focused, punchy low end, clear and dry midrange, and crisp trebles that cut effortlessly through an ensemble. It excels in bluegrass, folk, roots, and acoustic Americana, but is equally at home in solo performance or recording environments where note separation and dynamic range matter most. Subtle custom touches — moon phase fingerboard inlays, a silver headplate logo, oval tuner buttons, and a vintage sunburst top — add personality without distracting from the guitar’s classic aesthetic. Paired with a vintage-style molded hardshell case and available now at Haggerty’s Music, this is a professional-grade instrument built to honor tradition while pushing acoustic music forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \/ Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rearward Shifted GE-Scalloped X-Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutaway:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dreadnought (D-14 Fret)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp;
