Created to celebrate Chris Martin IV's 70th birthday, the Martin D-18 CFMIV 70th 1955 limited-edition dreadnought acoustic guitar is a testament to legacy and craftsmanship. Inspired by an original 1955 D-18 from the renowned Skip Maggiora collection, this model honors mid-century design with modern innovations. The reclaimed spruce top-sourced from salvaged old-growth timber in Alaska, including wind-felled trees and dismantled log bridges-adds a historical richness to its tonal character. Combined with mahogany back and sides, this instrument produces a warm, balanced sound with exceptional projection. Limited to just 70 guitars, it blends vintage appeal with contemporary precision, making it a celebration of artistry and tradition. Rear-shifted Sitka spruce X-bracing tightens the top for focused bass, mids, and treble clarity, ensuring a tone that resonates with depth and responsiveness.

- Mahogany back and sides for warm rich and balanced tone
- Reclaimed spruce top enhances tonal richness and historical connection
- Rear-shifted X-bracing delivers focused bass mids and treble clarity
- Faux tortoise binding provides vintage-inspired aesthetic and durability
