The Martin D-18 StreetLegend combines trusted, legendary tone with a lived-in look that tells a story before you even play your first note. Its solid spruce top features visual wear inspired by historic guitars in the Martin Museum, giving your brand-new guitar the soulful look of a well-loved heirloom. This vintage-inspired aesthetic is complemented by solid mahogany back and sides, aged open-gear tuners, and a satin-aged pickguard, creating a guitar that feels like it’s been part of your musical journey for decades, carrying the spirit of the past into today. Trusted for its bold, projective tone, this satin-finished Dreadnought delivers strong bass, bright trebles, and a punchy midrange. With a neck featuring a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length, the D-18 StreetLegend is a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.
Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case.
