Martin DC-18E - Fishman Electronics - Natural

Legendary Martin for the Performing Guitarist
The Martin DC-18E acoustic guitar will take you back to the days when acoustic guitars were king and players depended on their dreadnought's rich tone to convey their songs. But the onboard Fishman Aura VT Enhance electronics and single cutaway also make this DC-18E able to tackle today's stages. And the DC-18E still gives you the classic Martin guitar experience of a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides providing the foundation for stunning sound. The Martin DC-18E acoustic guitar will only sound better, acoustically and plugged in, as it ages.

Part of modern music's history

Martin flat-top tone
The Martin D-18 that inspired the DC-18E has been a top choice for serious performers for decades. The guitar's combination of solid Sitka spruce and mahogany gives it a sound that sits perfectly in a mix, cutting through and holding its own without overbearing the song's other elements. Whether you're playing solo or live with a band, your DC-18E's rich tone will always be heard without fighting with vocals or covering up the low-end impact from the bass player.
Fishman Aura VT Enhance
Fishman is just as much a leader in acoustic amplification as Martin is in guitar manufacturing. These two companies have placed the Aura VT Enhance electronics system in the DC-18E to give it a natural and expressive voice when performing live through an amp or PA system. The Aura preamps have been favorites of players for years. But the VT Enhance raises the bar by using discreet soundhole-mounted controls for the pickup's volume and tone. You can rest easy knowing that the natural sound of your DC-18E will come through the speakers loud and clear.
Part of modern music's history
You've already heard the sweet sound that the Martin DC-18E is capable of more times than you probably realize. The original D-18 was the choice guitar of legends such as Clarence White, Elvis Presley, and many more. Even Andy Griffith played one on The Andy Griffith Show. It's been a workhorse dreadnought acoustic for singers and songwriters since its original release in 1934. The Martin DC-18E is a perfect example of this instrument that became iconic because of its tone and craftsmanship.
