The Classic Mahogany Dreadnought Explored:
\nOur D-18 Authentic 1939 Review<\/h1>\n

The time machine Martin closest of all to the priceless pre-war instrument sought after by so many.<\/h2>\n

The light build on this mahogany\/Adirondack is reinforced by rear-shifted braces, with the main X brace placed a bit farther back than on modern Martins. This helps add to the openness of the voice, and reduces the rumble in the bass, so the bottom notes retain great definition while the highs have all the cutting power a Bluegrass flatpicker could hope for.<\/p>\n

Whether you are listening to Brownie McGhee singing the Blues, or Kris Kristofferson singing about Bobby McGee singing the Blues, you are hearing a D-18 laying down the rhythm. The folk music of Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan, and Gordon Lightfoot featured the D-18, as did the Rock n Roll of Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia, and Kurt Cobain. And when it came to Mountain Music, Old Time, and Bluegrass, the D-18 has reigned supreme, especially among the hot-handed pickers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And no D-18 yet is as like to taking a time machine to the 1930s and buying one, days after the glue has dried.<\/p>\n
