Those old Martins always seem so right, so no guessing the inspiration here in this classic 1930s look.
Based on the D-18 with some up market D-28 appointments she has a classic open pore thin nitro finish to keep that tone ringing out – it really does make a difference.
She has a full neck profile with diamond volute and some checking in the lacquer on the top which adds to the overall aesthetic.
