Description

Drawing inspiration from Molly Tuttle's beloved 1943 D-18, the Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle signature acoustic guitar encapsulates both tradition and innovation. This dreadnought model is a tribute to the Grammy-winning artist’s mastery, offering a harmonious blend of clarity, warmth, and projection. The guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, delivering a balanced tone with a pronounced midrange and articulate highs. Its rear-shifted scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and note separation, making it an ideal choice for flatpicking and intricate lead work.

The mahogany neck is shaped to an authentic 1941 profile, providing a vintage feel that supports fast, precise playing. The 1-11/16" nut width ensures clean string separation, accommodating rapid flatpicking with ease. Adding a personal touch, the ebony fingerboard is adorned with custom moon phase inlays, reflecting Molly's artistic vision. Topped with a vintage sunburst finish, this guitar is as visually stunning as it is sonically rich.

Whether you're a bluegrass phenom or an acoustic enthusiast, the Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle offers an expressive voice that stands out in any ensemble, embodying the spirit of a modern acoustic virtuoso.
