The D-18 is the classic mahogany dreadnought, a true workhorse heard on countless records. A solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides gives it bold, punchy tone with bright trebles and clear mids, and it's at home strumming, flatpicking, or in the studio.
The refreshed Standard Series version adds Golden Era scalloped bracing, a satin GE Modified Low Oval neck with high-performance taper, and Old Style 18 appointments with an aging-toner top. A hardshell case is included.
