Martin CS-D18-12 Custom Series Dreadnought 6-String Acoustic Guitar Natural

A gorgeous 12-fret dreadnought made with sinker mahogany from Belize and topped with Adirondack Spruce.




Inspired by a 1929 Ditson 111 that resides in the
C.F. Martin museum, the CS-D18-12 is a 12 fret dreadnought with a body
constructed of mahogany reclaimed from rivers in Belize.
Commonly referred to as "sinker mahogany," these logs sank to the
bottom of a river that was used to transport them and have been lost for
over 100 years. Hot hide glue was used to construct these instruments
which also boast a T-bar trussrod, slotted headstock and Adirondack
spruce top. Also included on the CS-D18-12 and new for 2012 is the
Custom Shop Thin Finish package. This nitrocellulose finish is 40%
thinner than the standard C.F. Martin nitrocellulose finish. Only 75 of
these instruments will be made for the world in 2012.
