The year 1937 marked a pinnacle in guitar craftsmanship, blending superior workmanship, innovation, and choice materials. This Authentic Series model replicates a 1937 D18 with fidelity, featuring traditional hide glue construction and details true to its historical counterpart.

Crafted with authentic mahogany for its back and sides, this guitar boasts an Adirondack spruce top, complete with a bracing pattern that mirrors the original 1937 design. It showcases "18" style Authentic appointments typical of the period, an accurately shaped neck barrel and heel, and a body contour that reflects the dreadnought designs prominent during Martin's early Golden Era.

The Vintage Tone System (VTS) by Martin is utilized to age the top and bracing, emulating the distinctive sound characteristic of the 1930s. Through this process, Martin's skilled artisans not only achieve the visual appeal of a well-aged guitar but also replicate the unique sound qualities typically found in vintage instruments. This guitar comes with a durable hardshell case.
