Encapsulating so much of what makes the name a classic, the Martin Custom Shop D-18 1937 delivers a fully-fledged acoustic experience to truly celebrate. Joining together many of Martin’s outstanding materials and features, this Custom Shop acoustic is a dream for Martin fans and acoustic guitar fans universally. We here at Russo Music proudly bear our Martin Custom Shop Expert status and are delighted to share such fine acoustics such as this D-18.

The Martin Custom Shop D-18 1937 incorporates qualities from Martin’s Authentic Series while retaining the spirit of the brand’s 1937 models that established generational standards for acoustic guitar making. Starting out with an Adirondack spruce top, the body of this guitar features a clear vintage gloss finish with a Martin Stage 1 Aging toner that imparts a well-worn aesthetic, implying a long lineage of play and care and putting on fine display the intricacies of the Adirondack grain. The body of this Custom Shop is completed with genuine mahogany back and sides to form the Martin Authentic D-14 Fret body shape. Hide glue construction brings these rich materials together, resulting in a much more careful process of assembly that demands precision while producing an exceptional instrument such as this. Brown Tortoise pattern binding appears across the top of this acoustic while a multi-stripe top inlay lines its perimeter and an Old Style 18 multi-stripe rosette accompanies.

A genuine mahogany neck joins the equation in Authentic 1937 profile with a Standard taper. The Dovetail neck joint construction compounds on the playability of this neck at its highest registers and completes the basis of this Custom Shop’s comfortable body assembly. An ebony fingerboard matches with this genuine mahogany and is adorned with twenty frets while an array of abalone Old Style 18 fret inlays line the ebony for a refined visual sum.

The unique playability of this Custom Shop is contributed to by a forward-shifted X Brace bracing pattern, designed to account for this Martin’s 25.4” scale length. Scalloped Adirondack spruce braces line the Adirondack spruce top for a keen character of tonality and outstanding projection. Playability across this Custom Shop Martin is only enhanced by a number of fine appointments to bring the entire guitar to a satisfying conclusion. Waverly Nickel Open Back tuning machines line the Solid-shaped headstock featuring a 1937 taper and East Indian rosewood headplate for smooth stringing and tonal stability. A bone nut measuring 1.75” lands at this end of the scale to solidify strings through to the headstock and contribute to a strong sense of intonation. A 1930 Style Belly ebony bridge appears at the opposite end of the scale length with a glue-in bone Long Saddle measuring at a radius of 16”. This Martin Custom Shop travels with a hardshell case for safety and security.

The luthiers at Martin’s Custom Shop have certainly outdone themselves with this D-18 model. With so much Martin musicality in a refined instrument, the legacy of Martin Guitar earns itself a new chapter.

Ends in a cliffhanger
Format: Kindle
Thankfully, the next book is already available. Roxy Collins is the queen of omegaverse slow burn. This particular series is omegaverse with wolf shifters. Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Lots of suspense and trying to figure out what is true and what's really going on. I loved it! Pretty spicy once the action starts. Heats are pretty much always spicy. There is a little bit of male interaction, but not full-on shmex. Definitely recommend.

Epic!!!!
Format: Kindle
Absolutely addicted from the first page. The twists and turns, world building and character development all come together for the perfect Omegaverse. And let's not forget that spice because knots are life and these are spectacular. Running for book #2 because that cliffhanger was torturous.

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.

amazing
Format: Kindle
Knot the Bride was a fantastic read! The characters were all amazing and well-developed. It was easy to like them all. Sophia, Luca, Nick, and Gavin were all perfect for each other. It was such a charming story that had me hooked the entire time. I did wish there were POVs from Luca, Nick, and Gavin but it was still an amazing book without it. I am excited to read the next book in the Willowside Omegaverse series! This is definitely a must-read for fans of omegaverse romance!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.
