The Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle is built to honor both tradition and a trailblazing artist. Inspired by Molly’s own 1943 D-18, this signature model features rear-shifted scalloped bracing, a slim 1 11/16" nut width prized by bluegrass flatpickers, and an authentic 1940s neck profile. Unique details include custom moon phase inlays on the fingerboard, a silver Martin headplate logo, oval tuner buttons, and a vintage sunburst top—all paired with a vintage-style light blue molded hardshell case reminiscent of those issued in the 1970s. Crafted with a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and ebony appointments, it offers the punch, clarity, and balance players expect from a D-18. A true artist model that reflects Molly’s style, sound, and vision.SpecificationsHighlightsD-14 Fret body sizeMahogany back and sidesSpruce top with Vintage Sunburst top colorAuthentic 1941 with Standard Taper neck1 11/16'' fingerboard width at nutMolded Hardshell caseRecommended Strings: Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 Guitar Strings Phosphor Bronze - MediumTopTop Material: SpruceFinish Top: GlossTop Color: Vintage SunburstTop Inlay Material: Multi-StripeTop Detail: NoneBinding: Brown Faux TortoiseBridge Material: EbonyBridge Style: GE Modern Belly - Drop in SaddleBridge String Spacing: 2 5/32"Bridge Pin Material: EbonyBridge Pin Dots: NonePickguard: Faux TortoisePickguard Inlay: NoneRosette: Old Style 18 Multi-StripeSaddle: Compensated BoneSaddle Radius: 16"BodyBody Size: D-14 FretConstruction: Dovetail Neck JointBack Material: MahoganySide Material: MahoganyBack and Side Finish: GlossBack and Sides Color: Dark MahoganyBack Detail: NoneSide Detail: NoneBack Purfling/Strip: Style 18Back Inlay Material: NoneSide Inlay Material: NoneBracing Pattern: Rearward Shifted X BraceBrace Shape: GE-ScallopedBrace Material: SpruceBrace Size: 5/16"Heelcap: Brown Faux TortoiseEndpiece: Brown Faux TortoiseEndpiece Inlay: NoneNeckNeck Shape: Authentic 1941Neck Taper: Standard TaperNeck Material: Genuine MahoganyNeck Color: Dark MahoganyFinish Neck: SatinScale Length: 25.4"Number of Frets Total: 20Neck Joins Body At: 14th FretFingerboard Material: EbonyFingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2 1/8''Fingerboard Width at Nut: 1 11/16''Fingerboard Inlay Style: Moon Phase DesignFingerboard Inlay Material: Mother of PearlFingerboard Binding Material: NoneSide Dots: WhiteHeadstockHeadstock Shape: Solid with 1941 TaperHeadplate Material: East Indian RosewoodHeadplate Logo Style: Silver Script OverlayHeadplate Binding Material: NoneTuning Machines: Nickel Open GearKnob: OvalNut Material: BoneMiscCase: Molded HardshellLabel: Paper Label w/ Printed Molly Tuttle Signature, Numbered in Sequence w/ No TotalElectronics: NoLeft Handed Availability: truePleked: true
