{"product_id":"c-f-martin-co-super-d-18-429340","title":"SUPER D 18","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Style 18: Bigger, More Powerful\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Martin Super D-18 follows the lineage of the \u003cstrong\u003eStyle 18\u003c\/strong\u003e, renowned for its spruce\/mahogany balance: clear attack, present mids, and a \"woody\" signature that naturally sits well in a mix. Here, Martin takes the concept further with a \u003cstrong\u003eSuper D body\u003c\/strong\u003e: more air moved, more foundation, and projection that carries without losing the responsiveness or clarity that make the D-18 strong. An acoustic designed to fill the space, whether solo, in a voice\/guitar duo, or within a band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Guitarist and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to professional guitarists\u003c\/strong\u003e (and discerning amateurs), the Super D-18 immediately responds to right-hand nuances. It shines in \u003cstrong\u003epowerful strumming\u003c\/strong\u003e (folk, pop), \u003cstrong\u003eflatpicking\u003c\/strong\u003e (country, bluegrass), and vocal accompaniment thanks to its presence and sustain. Its size and headroom also suit \u003cstrong\u003erhythmic fingerstyle\u003c\/strong\u003e when projection and stable articulation are desired, even with a firmer attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esolid spruce top\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers a crisp attack, clear highs, and excellent projection while maintaining definition when played loudly. The \u003cstrong\u003esolid mahogany back and sides\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance the mids, add punch, and maintain a precise low end rather than a muddy one. The \u003cstrong\u003escalloped \"Golden Era\" X bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with the \u003cstrong\u003eforward-shifted positioning\u003c\/strong\u003e, promotes a quick response, generous sustain, and a wide dynamic range. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003eSuper D format\u003c\/strong\u003e adds depth and breadth: more acoustic volume, solid low-end foundation, and projection that remains clear at a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a 6-string steel acoustic folk guitar, \u003cstrong\u003ephosphor bronze strings in Light 12-54 gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e offer an excellent balance of comfort, tonal balance, and projection. A \u003cstrong\u003eclip-on tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitates precise tuning, while an \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic guitar humidifier\u003c\/strong\u003e helps stabilize the instrument against humidity changes. For picking, consider some \u003cstrong\u003eplectrums\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium to Heavy for strumming, thinner ones for fingerpicking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSuper D (wider and deeper body than a dreadnought)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e16\u0026quot;
