As a Custom Shop dealer, we are fortunate enough to be invited to Nazareth, PA and pick wood for our own exclusive guitars.  While there, we were shown an exclusive run only available to dealers that make the pilgrimage.  This is that - and it's amazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model was designed by the Martin Custom Shop, so every detail was meticulously thought over.  Since it was a small run of guitars, there aren't many out there, but the result is a guitar priced well below a Custom Shop one-off.  It represents an incredible value.  It was shown to us while we were there at Martin, and we knew we had to have it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Custom Shop Special Edition showcases an elegant take on the classic D-18 model. It features domestically sourced Black Walnut for the back and sides, complemented by exquisite European Flamed Maple bindings and natural fiber inlays.  It's paired with a Spruce top, with scalloped bracing.  The tone is rich and powerful without being overly boomy, a top end that sings, and just the right amount of mids.  We found it to be very well balanced across the tonal spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Custom Shop D-18 serves as a powerful reminder that domestic hardwoods not only create visually stunning instruments but also deliver remarkable sonic qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is easy to play - this is a guitar that you won't want to put down.  Other features include Grover tuners, Old Style 18 inlays and a Modern Belly bridge.  The guitar comes complete with a high quality hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe only have one of these and expect it to go quickly at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Size: D-14 Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Material: Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdhesive: Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette Style: Old Style 18 Black Maple Fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace Material: Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Pearl: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrace Shape\/Style: Scalloped\/Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and Sides Material: Black Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding Material: European Flamed Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Style: Modern Belly - Drop In Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Mod Low Oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Taper: High Performance Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Spacing: 1 3\/4\" x 2 1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Black Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlay: Old Style 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Black Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Nickel Vintage Button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: Full Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Color: Clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Material: 12\/4 Genuine Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: 3-Ply Hardshell with Domed Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eSKU: 10CMDBLKWALNUT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48116768866547,"sku":"04MCS045","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img33079.jpg?v=1764014108","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/martin-custom-shop-special-edition-d-18-black-walnut-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
