Inspired by Molly’s cherished 1943 D-18, this dreadnought captures the punchy midrange, clear articulation, and balanced response that define her sound. Built with a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, this Martin D-18 delivers the classic warmth, projection, and note separation that flatpickers and acoustic players rely on. The rear-shifted scalloped X bracing gives the top a brighter, more responsive voice that cuts through a mix without losing depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a player’s perspective, this Molly Tuttle signature acoustic guitar feels fast, familiar, and incredibly musical. The authentic 1941 neck shape and 1 11\/16 inch nut width make it ideal for bluegrass runs, crosspicking, and rhythm work alike. Ebony on the fingerboard and bridge adds clarity and focus, while the compensated bone saddle keeps the response crisp and balanced across the 25.4 inch scale. Finished in a vintage sunburst with a gloss body and satin neck, this D-18 combines vintage character with modern playability for players who demand both tone and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the details are unmistakably personal. Custom moon phase inlays on the ebony fingerboard reflect Molly’s artistry, paired with a silver Martin script logo and nickel open-gear tuners for a refined, period-correct look. The faux tortoise pickguard and molded hardshell case complete the package, making this guitar stage-ready and travel-worthy. For players searching for a premium Martin dreadnought, a professional bluegrass guitar, or a signature model with real musical identity, the D-18 Molly Tuttle stands as a powerful, expressive instrument built to inspire for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial #3960 — this listing is for the exact instrument shown in the photos above.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67613655990589,"sku":"3073960","price":4199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/3348\/4349\/files\/MartinD-18MollyTuttleDreadnoughtAcousticGuitar_3960-1_a9e13f5e-b30e-40d4-aaaa-192d802a10bb.jpg?v=1791489153","url":"https:\/\/theacousticshoppe.com\/products\/martin-d-18-molly-tuttle-dreadnought-acoustic-guitar-3960","provider":"The Acoustic Shoppe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
