Once in a lifetime guitar from the Martin Custom shop. This 2018 D-18 model features Sinker Mahogany. What is Sinker Mahogany you ask? Martin had obtained a small quantity of mahogany from trees that had been cut in the forests in Belize in Central America between 1880 and 1920. This wood which matured slowly in a dimly lit forest is denser, darker in color, more attractive, as well as different sounding than the wood on standard new model instruments. When these trees were cut down, the logs were floated down rivers to the sawmills. Approximately one third of the wood sank during the process. The wood was lost for nearly a century. With the use of sonar and scuba gear, the wood was found and has been acquired by Martin Guitars. These limited models are truly unique & not something you see every day. Passive pick up installed.
