Description
Martin's D-18E 2020 is a limited edition dreadnought acoustic-electric. It is limited to 2,020 instruments worldwide. What makes this D-18E special is its inclusion of East Indian Rosewood on the headplate, binding, fingerboard, bridge, and heelcap rather than your standard Genuine Mahogany. The East Indian Rosewood in the D-18E 2020 not only lays a rock-solid tonal foundation that pairs perfectly with its Sitka spruce top, but looks exquisite as well with some absolutely gorgeous figuring. This exceptional dreadnought also includes LR Baggs Anthem electronics so the spirited tone of this guitar is faithfully translated when you plug into an amp or PA. If you love Martin acoustics, then you won’t want to miss out on the D-18E 2020, thanks to its excellent electronics, tasteful use of East Indian Rosewood, and the prominent sound and familiar feel of a dreadnought.
