Celebrate the legacy of a bluegrass icon with the Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle, a masterfully crafted signature D-18 that blends vintage 1940s style with modern playability. Inspired by Molly Tuttle’s own 1943 instrument, it delivers the punch, clarity, and balance of a classic Martin while showcasing distinctive artist touches—from moon phase inlays to a sunburst top—that make it as visually striking as it is sonically expressive. Designed for players who demand both tradition and innovation, the D-18 Molly Tuttle embodies the tone, feel, and character of a professional-grade flatpicker’s dream guitar.
