D-18 & D-X2E 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, while the D-X2E Molly Tuttle brings those same artist-driven details into a durable, more accessible X Series build. Paired with her moon-phase signature strap, this collection celebrates Molly’s individuality, her roots, and the players who connect with her music.

Super D-18
The Martin Super D-18 takes the legendary Style 18 Dreadnought to the next level. With 20% more internal air volume than a standard Dreadnought, this Super D body delivers thunderous bass, increased volume, and extended dynamic range—all while keeping the iconic silhouette intact. Solid genuine mahogany back and sides add warmth and punch, while the spruce top ensures clarity and projection. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, makes every note responsive and powerful. Appointments like black binding, abalone dot inlays, and a satin-finished neck keep the look classic and the playability smooth. Paired with an ebony bridge and fingerboard, the Super D-18 is a bold evolution of an acoustic icon—built for players who want to be heard.
Super HD-28
The Martin Super HD-28 expands on the legendary Style 28 Dreadnought with a larger-than-life design. With 20% more internal air volume than a standard Dreadnought, this Super D body offers thunderous bass and unmatched projection. A solid spruce top, paired with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivers rich overtones and a complex sound that will only open up over time. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X-bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while appointments like bold herringbone trim, antique white binding, and diamond-and-square inlays showcase timeless Martin style. Complete with nickel open gear tuners and a dovetail neck joint, the Super HD-28 is a bold evolution of an acoustic icon—built for players who want to be heard.
Martin O'ahu™ K-42 Hibiscus
The Martin O’ahu® K-42 Hibiscus takes inspiration from the historic Kealakai body and reimagines it with modern innovation. Featuring a K-sized 12-fret body fitted with a 14-fret neck—an unprecedented first for Martin—it delivers extra projection and clarity while keeping the deep, powerful voice that shaped the Dreadnought’s origins. Crafted with striking broad-flamed koa back and sides, a reclaimed spruce top—used only once before in Martin’s history—in a dark toasted burst, and adorned with ornate hibiscus inlays, it’s as visually captivating as it is sonically rich. Style 42 details, Madagascar rosewood binding, and Waverly® tuners with Liquidmetal® posts add luxury and performance. Limited to just 100 guitars, the K-42 Hibiscus is the newest member of the Martin O’ahu family—an instrument where heritage and artistry meet.
