Description from Martin Below,

The Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle is built to honor both tradition and a trailblazing artist. Inspired by Molly’s own 1943 D-18, this signature model features rear-shifted scalloped bracing, a slim 1 11/16" nut width prized by bluegrass flatpickers, and an authentic 1940s neck profile. Unique details include custom moon phase inlays on the fingerboard, a silver Martin headplate logo, oval tuner buttons, and a vintage sunburst top—all paired with a vintage-style light blue molded hardshell case reminiscent of those issued in the 1970s. Crafted with a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and ebony appointments, it offers the punch, clarity, and balance players expect from a D-18. A true artist model that reflects Molly’s style, sound, and vision.
