Description
Martin's D18L offers rich, bold dreadnought tones, excellent playability, and a timeless aesthetic, making it a perfect choice for left-handed players seeking a top-notch acoustic guitar.
The D18L starts with a Sitka spruce top and a mahogany body, giving it a warm, resonant sound with clear, present highs. Its scalloped bracing allows the soundboard to move more freely, enhancing its bass response, while its dreadnought body delivers plenty of projection for cutting through in band and ensemble settings. Not only does this sound great, but its low-profile oval neck plays impeccably well, and its ebony fingerboard has a nice, sleek feel.
Complete with open-geared tuners and classic 18-style appointments that give it a sleek vintage look, the Martin D18L is fantastic for left-handed players who want a masterfully-crafted dreadnought with a powerful tone.
