Martin D-18 1955 CFM IV 70th, Natural
To mark Chris Martin IV's 70th birthday, Martin has created the stunning Martin D-18 1955 CFM IV 70th — inspired by an original 1955 D-18 recently acquired at auction. The guitar was part of the legendary Skip Maggoira collection and shows considerable playwear on the top, adding to its character and storied past. The all-new limited-edition model captures the essence of that mid-century Martin with unmistakable tone and feel of a true classic.
Masterfully-built in America, this guitar shows off a gloss dreadnought body, crafted with mahogany back and sides for a loud, projective tone. The top is made from reclaimed spruce sourced from land-and-water-salvaged old-growth trees from Alaska — the first time Martin has used this unique, sustainably sourced spruce. Printed to replicate the worn look of the original 1955 model, it produces a clear, even tone and adds a rich layer of history to the voice of the instrument.
Paired with rear-shifted non-scalloped Sitka spruce X-bracing for a precise, focused sound, this Martin also carries a select hardwood neck hosting an FSC-certified rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl 1955 Style 18 dots, with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval Profile. Vintage-style Kluson Waffleback nickel tuners complete the look, blending vintage taste with reliable precision. Limited to 70 guitars, the Martin D-18 1955 CFM IV 70th is a pure fitting tribute to Chris' dedication to quality, tradition and innovation — available now at Replay Guitar Exchange!
