Too much cash for an acoustic guitar, unless you’re Clapton!

Product Review A friend let me play on his Martin D18, and I didn’t pass out, or get “blown away” by the “Martin stigma”, regarding this particular guitar. Quite honestly, my Epiphone, Yamaha acoustic and import parlor guitar, suit me fine, and sound, and play, just as good! (I’m sure you’ll find this hard to believe, but it’s only my opinion.) if you are a collector or guitar aficionado, go for it! I’m probably being a bit too critical, but for this kind of cash, I’ll stick with what I have! One high point, they include a hard shell case!

The GOAT of acoustic guitars

Product Review Martin has absolutely nailed these Reimagined standard D-18s. The spruce and mahogany dreadnought has been reinterpreted thousands of times but the D-18 is what many of them are based on. These newer models are resonant, warm and woody in tone. It simply does it all and sounds amazing doing it.

Product Review Best sounding guitar I've ever heard. Got an hd-28 that's going to need to open up to give the d18 a run.

The Classic Dreadnought Guitar!

Product Review Flat pick, finger pick or just plain strumming this is the only dreadnought guitar you will ever need. Martin's quality is legendary and the D-18 is a perfect example. This is a no nonsense work horse. It may not be the fanciest guitar but it's all about that tone,that booming bottom. Mahogany and Sitka Spruce. You just can't beat it! I'll own mine forever.

Mahogany body, warmer tone

Product Review Fabulous guitar. I went with the D18 over the HD28 after playing both of them extensively. Both amazing guitars, but I prefer the warmer, earthier tone of a mahogany body vs the rosewood on the HD28. The D18 feels like you’re playing around a campfire in the 40s, like a master luthier carved it from a tree stump right then and there. The HD28 is more of a mixed and mastered perfected guitar tone coming straight out of a Macintosh stereo. The D18 was the right move for me, good luck on your search!

Product Review I ordered this guitar to collect one more Martin. It’s now it always the one I pick up first. It’s always the one I grab. It’s fun, easy to play, always in tune, and the mahogany tone is rich and warm. I see why some great guitar players choose the D 18. No matter if it’s your first or last it’s a keeper. I take it to church, jams, blue grass festivals, and kitchen table concerts. It fits all occasions. It’s simple, it’s been around a long time. It’s recognizable, great investment. If you don’t have one, get one.

Slightly Disappointed

Product Review For this kind of money, I was expecting to be really happy with this, but it just didn't fit, even though ive waited literally years to play a d-18. Check close for factory blemishes and natural blemishes, cause some of these are closer to "B" stock than you would want. The highs stand out, but the bass kind of just blends in. The search continues. God bless.

Martin D18

Product Review I have owned other Martin guitars in the past, but always wanted as D18 because of the sheer booming sound of the mahagony. I was surprised that I was able to get one on an easy payment plan. I was out of town when my guitar arrived so it had plenty of time to be acquainted with the surroundings. I believe this will be the last guitar J ever purchase. Thanks to Americanmusical for making this happen.

Product Review This guitar shipped in great condition, as soon as I tuned it, it played like a dream. It has that classic “D18 Sound”. AMS shipped the guitar fast and safe. It arrived and was packed well and had no damage. On top of that, the AMS payment plan was a huge help for me! I was able to get this guitar and not have to empty my bank account at once. I took advantage of the amazing 18 payment plan with no interest which is unbeatable. I can’t wait to use AMS for future purchases!!

Product Review My D18 is everything I expected- delivers that Martin "tingle" like the other Rosewoods in my stable, but uses Mahogany to do the job. Well made, striking good looks and a deeper feel and voice that says "pick me up" every time I'm in the same room. I absolutely love the D18s' characteristics when I'm singing solo- I feel really confident with it in front of me and I walk right past my D28 to get my hands on the D18. Don't go gigging without it!!!

Product Review A really lovely instrument. Even new, with a ton of brightness, the tone is fantastic, and will only get better. Excellent balance, perfect intonation and well-built - one of Martin's very best guitars.
