Martin Custom Shop D-18 Gruhn Edition Sinker Mahogany 2017
Product Details
Brand: Martin
Another treasure from the Martin Custom shop, commissioned by Gruhn guitars of Nashville, this 2017 sinker mahogany d-18 is in fantastic condition. Built for Gruhn Guitars with a very special sinker mahogany and Adirondack spruce top. The Thrill of the Sinker It has long been an elusive goal to build new acoustic guitars that sound and feel equivalent to some of the finest golden era vintage instruments of the 1930s. 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.
