This is the golden age Martin sound! !
The ultimate replica model, D-18Authentic1937, faithfully reproduced by skilled custom shop craftsmen.
Currently, Martin's lineup includes a wide range of finely divided series, from entry class to limited production models, including the Standard Series, which is centered on long-standing representative models, and the X Series and Road Series, which are manufactured at the Mexico factory. It is composed of variations.
Among its wide lineup, the Authentic Series, which was announced in response to the emergence of pre-war Martin replica models by many individual builders in the mid-2000s, faithfully follows the specifications of the 1920s to 1940s, known as Martin's golden age. This is the ultimate reproduction model, boasting an overwhelming level of perfection that is unrivaled by any other model.
The Authentic Series is located in a custom shop that is independent from the production space for regular models within the factory, and mainly undertakes the production of special-order models.Each process, including body assembly, neck area, fingerboard and bridge, and final adjustments, is carried out by specialized experts. It is handmade by a skilled craftsman.
Processes such as the neck and bracing, which are now commonplace with machines, are carved by hand, and the finishing touches are completed using special tools created based on old materials from the time. We have taken great care to recreate not only the detailed specifications but also the manufacturing method.
Nowadays, it is common to use Titebond to bond various parts.While it has the advantage of being excellent in transmitting string vibrations and making future repairs easier, it is difficult to handle due to difficulties in temperature control etc. The Authentic series is the only one in the regular lineup that uses glue, a traditional adhesive that requires skill.
No compromises have been made in every detail, including the hand-polished lacquer with an exquisite antique feel, the painted pickguard, the bridge pin without string grooves, and the font of the serial number engraved on the neck block. The high degree of reproducibility that can only be achieved because it is the original product is an impressive finish that lives up to the name ``authentic''.
We would like to introduce you to the D-18Authentic1937, which has been newly renewed and has even higher reproducibility! !
The top is made of Adirondack spruce, which produces a powerful and robust sound.
Adirondack spruce is famous for its excellent acoustic properties and was used by pre-war Martin cars, but in the current lineup it has become synonymous with rare wood that is only used in the Authentic series and some limited edition models.
In 2008, there was an authentic series that reproduced the 1937 D-18 like this one, but this new model has the sound of a vintage guitar that has matured over many years by adding heat treatment to the top and bracing. A further upgrade has been achieved by applying a VTS processing vintage tone system that reproduces the .
When you actually play it, you can enjoy the overwhelming sound that seems to resonate from every corner of the body even with a light touch, and the rustic, warm, and enveloping aftertaste that only mahogany can provide because the body resonates to that extent. This will completely overturn the image many people have of the D-18 that they have played up until now.
There are many high-quality materials such as Brazilian rosewood Jacaranda and its substitutes, but many experienced acoustic guitar fans say that the combination of Adirondack spruce and mahogany is one of the perfect guitars. It can be said that it is one of the pinnacles that Martin has reached as he celebrates his 190th anniversary.
The neck shape, which greatly affects playing comfort, is named Authentic 1937, and is finished with a T-bar rod and a slightly thick nut width of 44.5 mm.
Currently, thin neck shapes are the mainstream in Martin's lineup, but those who prefer a thicker neck with just the right thickness for an exquisite grip feel and are able to transmit all the string vibrations to the body. I think there are many.
The Dreadnought can be said to be the most orthodox body shape among acoustic guitars, but the body contour of this instrument has been revised, and the neckline is slightly deeper than the current model, making it more faithful to the somewhat stylish Dreadnought shape of the time. It has been reproduced in.
Because the D-18 has a simple, unadorned exterior, it has a vintage gloss finish that brings out the beauty of the wood grain with natural colors, and as you play with it over time, it will become an irreplaceable piece. Sho.
The Authentic Series is handmade by craftsmen, so it is rarely in stock, but this one that has arrived this time has even more beautiful wood grain and perfect sound.
