A bright dreadnought for one of modern bluegrass's brightest stars, we've got the Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle in a warm Vintage Sunburst. Always keeping their finger on the pulse of one of America's oldest musical forms, the fine folks at Martin Guitar tap award-winning bluegrass guitarist Molly Tuttle for her take on a classic Martin D-14 Fret. This signature model assembles with some keen customizations straight from the guitarist herself for a dazzling dreadnought to keep the barn burnin'.

Molly Tuttle, a decorated bluegrass guitarist from a long line of musicians, has made a name for herself in both celebrated bluegrass bands and on her own as a solo artist. Crossing paths with the likes of bluegrass and country contemporaries Margo Price, Gillian Welch, and Billy Strings, Tuttle has a pretty stacked resume and a star-studded rolodex to her name, among her many accolades for her six-string skills. Today's Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle celebrates the guitarist and the classic American music style she calls home.

The Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle comes together with some classic Martin specs with plenty of exciting spins along the way. First, this signature model assembles with a Martin D-14 Fret body with mahogany back and sides and a spruce top. Wrapped in a gloss finish and sporting a Vintage Sunburst top color, this body carries with it generations of Martin dreadnought excellence. Within its iconic D-14 shape, there is some modern mojo afoot.

This Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle is fitted with Golden Era 5/16" scalloped spruce braces under its hood in a seldom-seen rearward-shifted X-Brace pattern. Golden Era braces, a more modern Martin development usually found in their Modern Deluxe series, help this dreadnought along for a bright and powerful projection alongside its rearward-shifted bracing position. Rearward-shifting, as opposed to the more common forward-shifting, moves the bracing positions farther from the soundhole, tightening trebles and placing less focus on bass response for an overall brighter-sounding instrument. This plays right into Tuttle's reputation as a masterful flat- and fingerpicker for her bluegrass stylings.

Reaching out, this Molly Tuttle signature features a satin-finished genuine mahogany neck in an Authentic 1941 profile with a Standard Taper in Martin's dovetail neck joint assembly. These elements combined make for a smooth and classic feel in the palm alongside an easy experience on the fingers with an ebony fingerboard. Twenty frets line up along this dark ebony with gorgeous custom Moon Phase Mother of Pearl inlays. Moving along the scale, Mother of Pearl makes up a lunar phase pattern, waxing and waning along the guitar's 25.4" scale length.

Backing up all these structural and elements are a robust hardware setup and aesthetic flourishes. For one, a bone nut lands at the headstock with nickel open gear tuning machines. At the scale's opposite end, an ebony Golden Era Modern Belly bridge features a drop-in compensated bone saddle matching for an incredibly solid intonation feel. This D-18 is decked with an Old Style 18 Multi-Stripe top inlay, Style 18 strip, and brown faux tortoise binding to add up to a rich, classy look on and off the stage. This Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle travels with an included Martin molded hardshell case.

For modern bluegrass's boldest and brightest, it only makes enough sense that she has a Martin to match.

Warm Blanket Read
Format: Paperback
Wow, I didn’t know how much I needed this and I inhaled it. I needed to feel a bit of summer. I needed a small town. What I didn’t know I needed was a big love story. This was perfect and escapist. A perfect read to make you feel good and characters to swoon over. Can’t wait for the show now.

Heartfelt and Nostalgic
Format: Paperback
What can I say to effectively capture the beauty, sweetness, and depth of this story? Sam and Percy’s story is sweet and nostalgic, and it made me feel like I was a teenager again right along with them. It brought back memories of my own teenage years spent camping at various lakes with family and friends; memories I hadn’t thought about in awhile. Barry’s Bay is a character in its own right as well, and I had such a vivid picture in my mind of what it must have looked like. There were moments when I laughed out loud, and moments that made me cry. The exploration of guilt and what it does to a person and the ones they love was so emotional and real. And the sweetness and love between Percy and Sam, despite all their mistakes and miscommunications, is something that will stick with me for a long time. There is so much heart in this story. I love a good friends-to-lovers romance, and have read quite a few, but this is easily one of the best.

Cute little read
Format: Paperback
I thought this book was a good quick read! Plot: 4⭐️ I won’t spoil it but there is a trope I wasn’t fond of in this toward the end of the book, BUT it’s a very realistic response to the situation. (I am not making it okay in ANY means). I do wish there would have been a little more fun memories between them as friends. Characters: I think Carly did a great job keeping the characters realistic. Yes the FMC parents had some money but it was a refresher that nobody was spoiled and the MMC earned his way into medical school.

John Candy References!
Format: Kindle
Persephone is thirty years old and she just got dumped. She didn’t really care, he didn’t mean much to her and she never really let him in, even after seven months. She gets a phone call that has her racing back to her past, the small town of Barry’s Bay, and back into the life of the one who got away… Sam Florek. For six summers Percy and Sam were inseparable. The friendship naturally blossomed and grew into something more and he became the man she never wanted to live without, until it fell apart in a splash. Percy returns for Sam’s mothers funeral and all the feelings come rushing back, their connection burning as brightly as it had twelve years ago. But Percy has a secret, a reason for why she broke up with him, and until she tells him, they can never be together. Told in dual timelines, we unravel the mystery of the once in a lifetime love story between two people who were as fated as a couple could be. First and foremost, there are not one but TWO John Candy references in this book. He is a late Canadian actor who was popular in the 80s. Most will know him as the Polka Player from home alone but I know him from so much more. Trust me, he deserves this paragraph of recognition and I praise the author for including him as he is slowly being forgotten. Now onto the story. I loved it. No ifs ands or buts about it. I absolutely love this story. It is a dual timeline, second chance romance and I think it got me out of my reading slump. I finished it in less than 2 days and couldn’t put it down. The history of the characters, watching them slowly fall in love and come to terms with their feelings. Seeing how they struggle over the long distances and other romances that pop up. It was so well written and it felt like I was watching two people I knew in real life fall for each other. It was so realistic , even the lows had me tearing up but remaining hopeful. The twist, the reason why they broke up, was predictable. I saw it coming not long into the book but it didn’t take away from the heartache I felt when it was revealed. I enjoyed that we also got to explore relationships outside of the main love interest. We got to know Percy’s friends and how they interacted with Sam too which was a nice break from the romance and gave depth outside of the love interest. Great book and I’m so thankful it got recommended to me.

Charming and Summery, But Longer Than It Should Be
Format: Paperback
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5 Stars) I listened to Every Summer After on audio, and at first, it really felt like it had the potential to be a solid 4-star read for me. The beginning is charming, easy to sink into, and definitely has that cozy, nostalgic summer atmosphere that so many readers love. It’s a cute, pleasant story with a smooth flow, and the type of book you can listen to without needing to focus too deeply. However, as the story went on, the pacing became a real issue. At around ten hours, this audiobook felt unnecessarily long. The plot didn’t have enough depth or twists to justify that length, and I honestly think it would have been a much stronger book if it wrapped up closer to the seven-hour mark. Around the midpoint, I found myself losing interest at times simply because the narrative stretched itself thin. When it comes to the writing itself, Carley Fortune keeps things very simple. There’s nothing particularly inspiring, profound, or memorable about the prose. It’s straightforward and easy to follow, but it doesn’t stand out, and I wouldn’t say it’s developed enough to be considered a distinct “writing style.” It does the job, but it never elevates the story or adds emotional depth the way some authors can. I also didn’t fall deeply in love with the characters. They were fine, but not the type that stay with you after the book is over. Because the character connection never fully clicked for me, the slower pacing felt even more noticeable, and some of the emotional beats didn’t land as strongly as they were intended to. Overall, Every Summer After is an easy, pleasant listen — perfect if you’re looking for something light, summery, and uncomplicated. While the overly long runtime, very simple writing, and limited emotional connection kept it at 3.5 stars for me, it’s still a sweet story that delivers exactly what many readers look for in a nostalgic summer romance. I’m still open to exploring more of Carley Fortune’s books, and I’m curious to see how her other stories compare!
