About the Martin Custom Shop D-18
Specs vary by order, but every Custom Shop D-18 shares the D-18 base: a 14-fret dreadnought with mahogany back and sides, a spruce top, a dovetail neck joint, a 25.4 inch scale, 20 frets and a 16 inch radius. The stock version dealers carry without a design session has an Adirondack top with aging toner, hand-shaped Golden Era scalloped forward-shifted bracing, faux tortoise binding in place of the usual black, a GE Modified Low Oval neck with a 1 3/4 inch nut, an ebony board with Old Style 18 abalone dots, an ebony belly bridge, nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs, a gloss body and a satin neck.
Many others are dealer specials or one-off orders, built to a dealer's design with woods picked at the Custom Shop, and these differ in five places. Adirondack is the usual top, but Sitka, European spruce (Italian Alpine or Swiss) and torrefied VTS tops turn up. Back and sides are often an upgraded mahogany set: sinker, figured, quilted or flamed. The neck is most often a Modified Low Oval; Performing Artist and Low Profile necks also turn up, and some builds have a 1 11/16 inch nut. Custom builds carry black, ebony or Madagascar rosewood binding, and Waverly, Gotoh, Grover or Schaller tuners. Weighed examples come in at about 4 to 4.25 lb (1.8 to 1.9 kg), with necks about 0.80 to 0.87 inch deep at the first fret. It comes with a hardshell case, often a 5-ply Geib-style case on custom builds.

Price history
Every recorded sale, one point each: 607 of them, placed by the day the ad went up. The line follows the middle of the sales around each point, with the middle half behind it, and breaks wherever nothing sold nearby. Condition is mixed, so some of the spread is a mint against a fair rather than the market moving.
