Introducing the Martin Custom Shop Authentic D-18 Custom Expert Model
CE-13 Acoustic Guitar — a rare and exceptional custom piece that's
seldom seen. This stunning D-18 pays remarkable tribute to the
vintage, forward-shifted bracing models, capturing the essence of a
true American classic. With Stage 1 Aging, the guitar features
beautifully woody tones across every register, offering warmth and a
bold, resonant voice. The aged, thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish is
tastefully done, making this one of the most convincing and artfully
aged relics we’ve encountered. Comfortable in hand and full of
character, this guitar also comes with a hardshell case.
