1 of only 272 instruments made, here is a rare and special, limited edition of the famous Martin D-18 from 1995 in immaculate condition and tonally outstanding and well played in. Label hand-signed by C. F. Martin IV himself.

The 1995 Golden Era is roughly based on a 1937 D-18 and was the first Martin to bear the “Golden Era” name; it was followed the next year by the 12-fret 000-28 Golden Era and in 1998 with the 00-21 Golden Era.

Not to be confused with the later D-18GE Series of guitars that it inspired due to its quick sell-out popularity, which ran from 1996 to about 2016. This is the model that inspired that series and made Martin realise they were onto something with the popularity of this limited edition with Golden Era specs.

Many features were copied directly from at 1937
D-18, including: original mahogany stain color, black binding, small abalones dot pattern on neck, Brazilian rosewood headplate with old-style decal, hot stamp burned in reinforcing center strip, cloth strips on sides, 1 3/4″ V-neck, 2-5/16″ spacing at bridge, long bone saddle, bone nut, chrome vintage-style tuners; other features similar to later D-18V.

Comes with the Martin OHSC (original hard shell case) of the era.
