Full List of them on TME: https://themusicemporium.com/search?...m%20authentic*
Interesting it says for neck shape on the 000 "Modified V neck shape with 1930's style heel", but on the D "1937 Authentic Barrel & Heel Neck Profile" |

No doubt. And I guess if the 28s are listed at 5210 I'd imagine the D18s will be in the 4600-4800 for non aged and 5500-5700 range for aged. I have a D18 37A and I'm guessing the value may drop some when those do come out.

Just let me change that "Authentic '37" neck profile for a Mod-V and I'd be in line! Oh well?

But which Martin ModV? There have been many different profiles to wear that name in the last 25 years.

I wasn't aware of that? Same as what used to be on a D-18GE or a HD-28V I suppose. Assuming they are the same?

The neck on the D18GE was more like the D28A than the HD28V from my memory - significantly thicker near the body.

The Vintage series ModV is different from the GE's. The GE's were rounder with more shoulder, especially early on. They had slimmed down significantly by the end of the run. The ModV on the D Mahogany wasn't as deep as the GE and Marquis. Even the ModV within the Vintage series varied. The HD28LSV was had a sharper V than the HD28V and D18V, which was significantly different than the HD28VS and D18VS. The 12 fretters were much fuller and deeper that their 14 fret siblings.
I am looking forward to playing one of these Expert Authentics. Despite all the speculation, no one knows how the the neck will really be profiled. Martin puts out profile diagrams and measurements, and yet they often differ from the listed spec's and drawings.

My original point was that Martin easily make Authentic bracing available in the custom shop. |

I called Wildwood a week ago to see if they happened to have an incoming D18 with Authentic bracing and ambertone finish coming in. I still have not heard back but here's one they got in today, I believe this is the first of this new series to hit their website.
Sinker D18, with "D18 Authentic 1937 Bracing" and MLO neck ... $4300 https://wildwoodguitars.com/product/...8-9/?cat_id=32 Very nice guitar! |
