Martin Guitar will be introducing yet another signature model – a Jason Isbell signature D-18 – at the forthcoming Summer Namm 2017 show (Nashville TN 13-15 July). The guitar boasts a pre-aged Vintage Tone System (VTS) Adirondack spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and rear-shifted scalloped bracing: ‘…which produce more natural volume and a clear powerful tone. Similar to Martin’s Authentic series, Jason’s Custom is constructed using hide glue, which unlike newer synthetic reproductions, dissolves into the grain of the wood and creates more resonance throughout the instrument,’ Martin says.
The Isbell D-18 is just one of many new introductions from the guitar maker, which will include a ‘re-engineered’ D-28, Several New Signature Edition Models, a New Limited Edition Model, and Several Series Expansion Models.
