The Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle is a professional-grade dreadnought designed for serious flatpickers. Built with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it delivers powerful bass, warm midrange, and crisp treble that cuts through ensemble playing. The rear-shifted X-bracing enhances projection and sustain, while the 1-11/16″ nut width optimizes flatpicking precision. Vintage appointments include a genuine mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and open-gear tuners. Moon phase inlays and Vintage Sunburst finish complete this instrument inspired by Molly Tuttle’s personal 1943 Martin.
From Martin:
“MOLLY TUTTLE | Molly Tuttle has always chased the sound, feel, and freedom that a great acoustic guitar can unlock. Now, her journey comes full circle with two new signature Martin guitars—each designed to reflect her style, her story, and her vintage inspiration. The D-18 Molly Tuttle channels the punch, clarity, and fast-playing feel of her beloved 1943 D-18. Paired with her moon-phase signature strap, this collection celebrates Molly’s individuality, her roots, and the players who connect with her music.
Molly Tuttle is one of today’s most exciting voices in roots music—an inventive flatpicker, acclaimed songwriter, and bandleader pushing acoustic guitar into new territory. With back-to-back GRAMMY®-winning albums with her band Golden Highway and several additional nominations, she has emerged as a true generational talent. Her latest solo record, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, blends pop, rock, country, and bluegrass to showcase her evolving artistry. A two-time IBMA Guitar Player of the Year—and the first woman ever to receive the award—Molly continues to break barriers, inspire players, and redefine what acoustic music can be.”
