The Martin D-18 is a classic, great looking and great sounding dreadnought, and from the photo, yours is no exception. Simple, not overstated beauty.

Congratulations on choosing a really nice guitar!

Congratulations!! Such a beautiful sound that mahogany guitar produces. My first ever D-18 I just ordered. Was told by my Martin dealer it should arrive by mid July. A strong demand there is for the new reimagined series guitars!

Enjoy it! Make some great music!!

Nom nom. I really need to get one of these. A D-18 in 2018 is my theme for the year.

Enjoy it!

Couldn't agree more! Now if only those new D18's came with a neck with a wee bit of girth...

Yes the first 5 frets are too skinny.

Also earlier today I was thinking about 5 acre Tennessee homestead porch jams. I also thought then that a D-18 would be the perfect guitar for that.

Enjoy the Martin!

I'm not always impressed by current Martin dreads. But I played a new D18 a few months ago and was surprised and very impressed. Congrats on a darn good guitar.

I had a '17 model, and let it get away from me on a "package deal" trade for another one I "just had to have", and since I got my new 00-18 I realize that I'm probably a spruce/mahogany guy...so I'm looking to add a reimagined D-18 to my group as well. Very nice guitar!
