{"product_id":"martin-d-18-authentic-1939-aged-serial-2511939-1183132","title":"Martin D-18 Authentic 1939 Aged","description":"Here to remind you why you fell in love with us in the first place, the new Authentics are constructed the old way - with hide glue, throughout, and historically-accurate detailing confirmed by using a CAT scan machine located at the Smithsonian Institute. Based on a 1939 D-18 in our museum, this guitar features genuine mahogany back and sides, an Adirondack spruce top, using an authentic circa 1939 bracing pattern. Period-correct \"18\" Authentic-style appointments, with an Authentic neck barrel and heel, complete this piece. Martin’s new Vintage Tone System (VTS) is employed for the top and braces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top\/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #:\u003c\/b\u003e 2511939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e3lbs 14.5oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBODY SIZE: \u003c\/b\u003eD-14 Fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFINISH TOP:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONSTRUCTION:\u003c\/b\u003e Dovetail Neck Joint - Hide Glue Construction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBACK \u0026amp;
