Winter NAMM 2002: Martin D-18DC

By Sweetwater on January 28, 2002

What would a NAMM Show be without Martin’s Signature and Limited Edition acoustic guitars? As always, Martin had quite a few great new instruments to show us. First up, a Martin Signature Guitar honoring none other than famous guitarist David Crosby. The man’s probably done more to put acoustic-driven, folk-tinged rock on the pop music map than anyone, first with his work in the Byrds, then in Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Crosby is most often associated with Martin’s famous D-45, but for his signature guitar he chose to base it on a Martin D-18, the first Martin he owned and one he continued to play up through the early days of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. The D-18DC David Crosby Signature Edition combines rare and beautiful solid tonewoods for exceptional sound. The back and sides are crafted from exquisite quilted genuine mahogany, among the scarcest and most prized woods in the world. Carved from genuine mahogany, the neck has a modified “V” shape, satin finish and moderate width – 1 11/16″ at the nut — for playing comfort. Abalone dot position markers on the fingerboard lead to David Crosby's signature, inlaid between the 19th and 20th fret. Black bridge and end pins are topped with pearl. The body of the D-18DC is finished entirely in polished gloss nitrocellulose lacquer.
