Martin D-18E 2020 Dreadnought Electro Acoustic
Martin D-18E 2020 Dreadnought Electro Acoustic
With its D-14 size body, Sitka spruce top, and genuine mahogany back and sides, the D-18E 2020 is a limited edition version of Martin's historic 14-fret D-18 from 1934. With the addition of a genuine mahogany neck, and exquisite East Indian rosewood headplate, fingerboard, bridge and heelcap, exceptional playability and tone are guaranteed, as are Martin's legendary craftmanship and attention to detail.
A guitar that is as impressive to look at as it is to play, due to an outstanding list of features which includes a Performing Artist taper to the neck, and a Modified Low Oval neck shape. Strung with Martin's Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 strings and supplied with a hard shell case, this sensational guitar not only plays and sounds great acoustically, but also performs equally as well when plugged in - thanks to its LR Baggs Anthem electronics. Limited to just 2,020 instruments, this exceptional guitar is both a tribute to Martin's distinguished heritage, and a highly collectable piece of fine craftmanship.
