Martin Introduces the "Super D" D-18
Will a bigger volume float your boat? Now, I'm not really a dreadnought guy any more. They're just too big and bulky for my taste. But, if dreadnaughts are your thing, and you've craved even MORE volume, then Martin has made this just for you. Check out the specs:
From Sweetwater's description:
"Larger in both size and sound than a traditional dread, the Martin Super D-18 takes Nazareth’s iconic acoustic cannon to new heights of depth and projection. This oversized acoustic guitar boasts 20% more internal air volume than a standard D-18, clocking in with a width of 16.375 inches (as compared to the traditional dread’s 15.625-inch width). The result is an instrument with superior volume potential, enhanced dynamic range, and a chest-rattling bass boom — all without compromising on the timeless Martin dreadnought profile. What’s more, this super-sized dreadnought boasts all the hallmarks of the legendary D-18, including a Sitka spruce top, forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, and genuine mahogany for the back and sides. Strum an open cowboy chord or flatpick your favorite bluegrass run, and the Super D-18 captures the same crisp clarity and midrange warmth that’s made the D-18 among the most treasured guitars in music history. Plus, you also get a select hardwood neck in Martin’s fast-playing GE Modified Low Oval profile, a premium ebony fingerboard, and old-school open-back nickel tuning machines. After nearly a century’s worth of dreadnought dominance, the Martin Super D-18 is ready to rule as the pinnacle of unplugged power."
