Description

The Satin-finished top on the new StreetLegend includes some visual wear inspired by historic models found in Martin’s museum. This gives your brand-new guitar a well-loved look that shows your music has an old soul like many of the fine instruments curated by the experts at Martin over the years. The D-18 StreetLegend is crafted with satin-finished mahogany back and sides, so you’ll still enjoy plenty of volume and pick up some bright trebles and punchy midrange tones.

The GE-scalloped bracing on this model contributes volume and a fuller sound than non-scalloped bracing. It also includes open-gear aged tuners and a satin-aged pickguard to complete the aesthetic. If you’re looking for a satin-finished Standard Series guitar that stands out from the crowd, this D-18 StreetLegend is the one for you.

Please note: the images on this listing are of the previous Martin Standard Series releases, so there may be subtle aesthetic differences to the 2025 models. New photographs coming soon!
